WASHINGTON – With the 9th Annual National Clean Energy Week one month away, the leaders of South Carolina, the District of Columbia, Tennessee, New Mexico and Mississippi are the first to issue proclamations recognizing September 15-19, 2025, as Clean Energy Week. These proclamations were made by Govs. Henry McMaster (R-S.C.), Bill Lee (R-Tenn.), Michelle Lujan Grisham (D-N.M.), Tate Reeves (R-Miss.) and Mayor Muriel Bowser (D-D.C.).

“I’m grateful to Governors McMaster, Lee, Grisham, Reeves and Mayor Bowser for recognizing the importance of National Clean Energy Week,” said Heather Reams, Chair of NCEW and President and CEO of Citizens for Responsible Energy Solutions (CRES) Forum. “As we mark another year of the benefits of clean energy, it’s important to highlight the widespread support for clean energy innovation and technology across the country. This isn’t a red or blue issue—it’s a red, white and blue issue that transcends party lines. These proclamations underscore the desire states have to enhance innovation, create and retain jobs within their local economies, strengthen America’s global competitiveness and ensure our clean energy sector is not only expanded and protected, but empowered to tackle the challenges of tomorrow.”

In 2024, a record-breaking 62 state and local leaders officially recognized Clean Energy Week. The first proclamations for 2025 demonstrate the growing commitment among leaders to support a clean energy sector that creates jobs and affordable power for millions of Americans.

Launched in 2017, National Clean Energy Week continues to serve as a bipartisan platform for advancing clean energy solutions. This year’s events will feature our flagship Policymakers Symposium, a free, two-day event in Washington, D.C. and streamed online, featuring elected officials, industry experts and advocates working together to build a cleaner, more resilient energy future.
