Florida Clean Energy Week

OceanBased Perpetual Energy, which is based in Miami, Florida, applauded Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and the State of Florida for becoming the 18th state (plus the District of Columbia) to recognize Clean Energy Week by official proclamation.

In his proclamation, Governor DeSantis noted the importance of clean energy and highlighted that Florida is “one of only four states in the nation with a utility-scale solar thermal technology electricity generation facility.”

“OceanBased, a Preferred Partner of Florida Atlantic University’s Southeastern National Marine Renewable Energy Center, is preparing to grow and build upon the Governor’s clean energy commitment,” OceanBased Vice President of Marketing David House noted.

Read the text of the Governor’s proclamation below:

WHEREAS, here in Florida, our children and future generations serves as a vital reminder of what is at stake when discussing the importance of creating a clean, healthy, and stable environmental foundation for their future; and

WHEREAS, the preservation of our environment, waterways, and natural resources is paramount; and

WHEREAS, my administration will continue working with our federal, state, and local partners to implement common sense solutions addressing Florida’s environmental, economic, and energy needs; and 

WHEREAS, the 2020-2021 Bolder, Brighter, Better Budget continues Florida’s historic investments to safeguard the state’s water resources through the use of innovative technology, while also bolstering clean energy infrastructure through the expansion of electronic vehicle charging stations; and 

WHEREAS, clean and readily abundant forms of energy are powering more homes and businesses than ever before and are part of America’s energy future; and 

WHEREAS, Florida is home to clean energy industry-leading producers of power generation systems, a variety of solar technology companies, biofuel producers, and battery and fuel cell manufacturers; and 

WHEREAS, Clean Energy Week In Florida is an opportunity to encourage all individuals and organizations to implement eco-friendly and clean energy practices that reduce air pollution and mitigate other harmful impacts to our environment, benefitting our state for generations to come. 

NOW, THEREFORE, I, Ron DeSantis, Governor of the State of Florida, do hereby extend greetings and best wishes to all observing September 21-25, 2020, as CLEAN ENERGY WEEK IN FLORIDA.
