Alaska Governor Mike Dunleavy Recognizes Clean Energy Week 2024

JUNEAU, Alaska – For the fourth year in a row, Governor Mike Dunleavy (R-Alaska) has officially proclaimed September 23-27, 2024, as Clean Energy Week in Alaska. This proclamation was issued in conjunction with the 8th Annual National Clean Energy Week (NCEW) 

“I commend Governor Dunleavy for recognizing Clean Energy Week in Alaska,” 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 Dunleavy understands this, and I am encouraged by Alaska’s potential to lead the rest of the nation in clean energy innovation and investment.” 

“Clean and renewable energy is part of Alaska’s energy infrastructure and future,” Governor Dunleavy stated in the proclamation. “With Alaska’s abundance of renewable and clean energy sources, our state is poised to be a leader in energy independence for Alaskans and our fellow Americans without reliance on foreign dictatorial regimes.” 

As Governor Dunleavy’s proclamation highlights, Alaska is home to 49 out of 50 critical minerals that are vital to clean energy and power grid technologies. Alaska is advancing the Alaska LNG Project which has the potential to reduce carbon emissions by 77 million tons per year while providing reliable, affordable and clean energy to residents.  

Last year, Governor Dunleavy 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.
