*Governors Announce Bipartisan Accord for a New Energy Future*

*Washington DC – A bipartisan group of 17 governors today signed the
**Governors’
Accord for a New Energy Future* <http://www.governorsnewenergyfuture.org>*
- a joint commitment to take action to promote clean energy, clean
transportation choices, a modern electrical grid, and plan for a new energy
future. *

The Accord provides participating governors – a bipartisan coalition
together representing 127 million Americans – with a platform through which
their states will collaborate, learn from one another, and leverage
partnerships in energy planning and policymaking.

“American prosperity has always depended on embracing new ideas and
technologies,” states the *Governors’ Accord for a New Energy Future*.
“Embracing new energy solutions allows us to expand our economy while
protecting the health of our communities and natural resources. These
improvements will help secure a safe and prosperous future for our country.

“We recognize that now is the time to embrace a bold vision of the nation’s
energy future, and to do so, states are once again poised to lead.”

Governors Jay Inslee of Washington, Brian Sandoval of Nevada, and Jerry
Brown of California will hold a national press call today, February 16 at
1:00 pm ET, to announce the Accord.

Democratic and Republican signatories to the Accord commit that their
states will continue to diversify energy generation and expand clean energy
sources, modernize energy infrastructure, and encourage clean
transportation options. *The seventeen participating governors represent
states that vary considerably in their energy mix and policy portfolios.
However, *these governors have committed to working together to make
transformational policy changes to secure a stronger energy future for
their states and the nation.

Senior advisors to participating governors will convene shortly to discuss
initial steps to pursue their shared priorities and commitments contained
in the Accord.
