NES Offers Celebration Ideas for National Clean Energy Week 

It’s National Clean Energy Week (NCEW)! NCEW is a celebration of the policies, industries and innovations that power our daily lives while producing little to no greenhouse gas emissions. 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.  

NES is honoring the week by sharing some celebration ideas for Tennesseans to commemorate the holiday in their own communities: 

  • NCEW Watch Party: Gather your colleagues and other clean energy advocates to live stream panels, remarks and armchair discussions from the NCEW Policymakers Symposium.  
  • Panel Discussions: Host your own educational panel discussions with local clean energy experts to highlight new and existing technologies in your region or state. 
  • Celebration Reception: Invite community members to celebrate Clean Energy Week at an evening reception modeled after the NCEW VIP Reception, which provides an invaluable networking opportunity for industry leaders and policy go-getters. 
  • Networking Breakfast/Lunch: Feature keynote remarks from a local clean energy leader, CEO, president or industry expert at a networking breakfast or lunch with your colleagues and likeminded advocates. 
  • OTHER: The sky is the limit! We love to see how creative these Clean Energy Week celebrations can be.   

This is the 8th annual National Clean Energy Week. For the fifth year in a row, Governor Bill Lee has officially proclaimed September 23-27, 2024, as Clean Energy Week in Tennessee. As Governor Lee’s proclamation highlights, Tennessee is home to the Oak Ridge Laboratory which plays a significant role in advancing nuclear energy research and development. This year, the state also created the Tennessee Nuclear Energy Advisory Council to aid in the continued development of nuclear energy innovation.
