WASHINGTON—With just under a month until the 7th Annual National Clean Energy Week, governors of Alabama, Connecticut, Georgia, Louisiana, and New Hampshire have been the first to issue proclamations recognizing September 25-29, 2023, as Clean Energy Week. These leaders include Govs. Kay Ivey (R-Ala.), Ned Lamont (D-Conn.), Brian Kemp (R-Ga.), John Bel Edwards (D-La.), and Chris Sununu (R-N.H.).  

“I want to thank Govs. Kay Ivey, Ned Lamont, Brian Kemp, John Bel Edwards, and Chris Sununu for their continued leadership supporting clean energy technologies and policy solutions,” said Heather Reams, chair of NCEW and president of Citizens for Responsible Energy Solutions (CRES) Forum. “Bipartisanship is critical to putting in place long-standing policies that will reduce emissions and increase America’s competitive edge. By joining us in celebrating National Clean Energy Week, these leaders are paving the way towards a stronger, cleaner America.” 

Last year, a record-breaking 36 states, commonwealths and districts issued proclamations recognizing Clean Energy Week. This year’s first five proclamations represent the overwhelming majority of state executives who understand and support clean energy industries that power the economy and keep energy costs affordable for their constituents.

NCEW was founded in 2017 as a bipartisan forum to bring together clean energy leaders and advocates across America. The week contains engaging programming such as the Policymakers Symposium – a three-day event convening elected officials, business leaders, advocates, policymakers, investors, and trade associations from all perspectives who are dedicated to advancing clean energy.
