OKLAHOMA CITY – For the sixth year in a row, Governor Kevin Stitt (R-Okla.) has officially proclaimed September 23-27, 2024, as Clean Energy Week in Oklahoma. This proclamation was issued in conjunction with the 8th Annual National Clean Energy Week (NCEW).  

“I commend Governor Stitt for recognizing Clean Energy Week in Oklahoma,” said Heather Reams, chair of NCEW. “Advancing clean energy projects across the country is not only good environmental stewardship, but it is also economically prudent as it spurs the creation of jobs in local communities and strengthens state economies all while providing affordable, reliable clean energy to residents. Governor Stitt understands this, and I am encouraged by Oklahoma’s potential to lead the rest of the nation in clean energy innovation and investment.” 

“The energy sector is the leading economic driver in Oklahoma, and the state’s ‘all-of-the-above’ approach to energy production plays an important part in America’s energy independence,” Governor Stitt stated in the proclamation.  

As Governor Stitt’s proclamation highlights, the clean energy sector in Oklahoma provided more than 22,600 jobs last year, and the state’s energy portfolio includes renewable sources such as wind, solar, hydropower and geothermal.  

Last year, Governor Stitt was among the 37 governors and 49 municipalities that issued proclamations to recognize Clean Energy Week. Learn more about the state proclamations here. 

Founded in 2017, NCEW serves as a bipartisan forum convening clean energy leaders and advocates from across the country. The week features dynamic programming, including the Policymakers Symposium—a free, two-day in-person event that spotlights elected officials, business leaders, advocates, policymakers, investors and trade association voices who are committed to promoting clean energy.
