Biography provided by participant

Moler joined Exelon Corporation (formerly Unicom) in January 2000. She heads the company's Washington, D.C. office, and serves as a member of Exelon's strategy and policy committee.

Before moving to the private sector, Moler had a long career in government service. She was a staff member on Capitol Hill for 20 years. She served as counsel and senior counsel for the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources from 1976 to 1988 under Senators Henry M. "Scoop" Jackson and J. Bennett Johnston.

In 1988, she was appointed by President Reagan to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. Presidents George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton reappointed her. In 1993, she was designated by President Clinton to serve as the commission's chair. Under her leadership FERC adopted a landmark initiative to require utilities to open their transmission lines on an equal access basis to their competitors, paving the way for robust wholesale competitive electricity markets. She continued to serve as the commission's chair until June 1997, when she was appointed deputy secretary of the Energy Department.

She resigned her duties in governmental service in October 1998. During 1999 she was a partner in the law firm of Vinson & Elkins and a member of the Unicom board of directors. Moler received her bachelor's degree from American University and her law degree from George Washington University.
