North Dakota Public Service Commissioner Brian Kalk has been asked to testify in Washington about energy.
Kalk is scheduled to appear Thursday in front of the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources. The panel is researching several energy infrastructure bills.
Kalk says his testimony will focus on how potential changes may affect the future of North Dakota's generation and transmission facilities.
The PSC permits and regulates power plants, pipelines, railroads and a number of other businesses in the state. The three-member commission has approved more than $4 billion in energy projects in the past three years.
