Governor Ivey recognizes Clean Energy Week in Alabama
In Alabama, Yellow Hammer News reported that Alabama Governor Kay Ivey declared the National Clean Energy Week.
Ivey signed a proclamation recognizing that “clean and readily abundant forms of energy are powering more homes and businesses than ever before.”
In Alabama, the clean energy sector employs more 44,000 people, which provides the third-largest generation of hydroelectric power to the Rocky Mountain region and the fourth-largest generation of nuclear power across the nation, according to the report.
The Energy Institute of Alabama (EIA) welcomed the recognition for the industry from Governor Ivey.
“We appreciate Governor Ivey recognizing the important role public utilities play in generating clean, affordable and reliable energy,” said Blake Hardwich, executive director of the Energy Institute of Alabama.
