Mississippi Recognizes Clean Energy Week 2022

In recognition of the sixth annual National Clean Energy Week (NCEW), Governor Tate Reeves issued a proclamation celebrating September 26-30, 2022, as Clean Energy Week in the state of Mississippi.  

In his proclamation, Governor Reeves recognized the growing importance of clean energy, noting the Mississippi Development Authority’s Energy and Natural Resources Division has designated this year’s theme to be “Empower Progress, Empower Energy.” Last year, Governor Reeves joined more than half of the nation’s governors in issuing proclamations to recognize NCEW in their respective states. 

“We thank Governor Tate Reeves for joining us in celebrating National Clean Energy Week,” said Heather Reams, chair of NCEW and president of Citizens for Responsible Energy Solutions (CRES). “Across the country, the cost of living continues to rise. It is critical that we take a hard look at the solutions clean energy technologies provide to address America’s most pressing environmental, economic, and national security needs. The sixth annual NCEW and Policy Makers Symposium connects government officials from both sides of the aisle as well as top industry leaders, researchers, investors, and advocates to discuss how we can make the prospect of a clean energy future a reality, not only in Mississippi but throughout the country.”   

“Mississippi provides innovative statewide programs encouraging energy infrastructure development, energy efficiency, and renewable energy within state government, throughout its local governments, and among its citizens, businesses, industries, and educational institutions,” said Governor Reeves in his 2022 proclamation. “Energy sector development can offer employment and economic opportunities, and innovation in energy technology will strengthen our economy.”  

NCEW began in 2017 as a bipartisan forum to bring together clean energy leaders and advocates across America. Through engaging programming such as the Policy Makers Symposium, the weeklong virtual event celebrates the critical role that clean energy plays in reducing greenhouse gas emissions while simultaneously bolstering the nation’s economy and energy independence.
