Biden Nominates Grid Expert for Energy Department

Robinson, a First for Korean Americans, to Lead Grid Deployment

Director of the Grid Deployment Office, Maria Duaime Robinson, a trailblazer in both the energy sector and politics, has been nominated by President Biden to a key role within the Department of Energy.

Robinson made history as the first Korean American elected to the Massachusetts General Court, serving in the House of Representatives. Her impact has continued in her role as Director of the Grid Deployment Office, where she has overseen critical initiatives to modernize the nation's electricity grid and promote clean energy.

In her new role, Robinson will play a pivotal role in executing the Biden administration's ambitious clean energy agenda, including the deployment of renewable energy sources and the development of a resilient and reliable grid infrastructure.
