Idaho Governor Brad Little Recognizes Clean Energy Week 2024

BOISE, Idaho – For the sixth year in a row, Governor Brad Little officially proclaimed September 23-27, 2024, as Clean Energy Week in Idaho. This proclamation was issued in conjunction with the 8th Annual National Clean Energy Week (NCEW) 

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

“Clean and readily abundant forms of energy are powering more homes and businesses across Idaho than ever before,” Governor Little stated in the proclamation. “Clean energy contributes to the resiliency and security of the electric grid, ensuring Idahoans have access to reliable and affordable power.” 

 As Governor Little’s proclamation highlights, Idaho’s Capitol building is the only statehouse in the nation heated by renewable geothermal energy. In addition, the clean energy sector in Idaho supplies over 19,000 jobs and renewable energy accounted for 68 percent of the state’s total electricity generation capacity.  

Last year, Governor Little 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.
