Key Partnerships to Accelerate Clean Energy Transition in the Four Corners Region
Energy and clean energy production has been a hot topic across the state of Colorado, and here in the Arkansas River Valley. A group known as the Four Corners Clean Energy Alliance (4CCEA) has just announced the addition of a diverse array of stakeholders across the spectrum of the clean energy industry. The goal; to amplify its efforts to promote sustainable clean energy development in the Four Corners area, with a strong emphasis on supporting the Navajo Nation.
Joining the alliance are Four Corners Innovation, Arizona Center for a Carbon Neutral Economy (AzCaNE), Four Corners Economic Development, Tallgrass Energy, Navajo Transitional Energy Company (NTEC), Nature and People First, Process Service and Equipment Company (PESCO), New Mexico State University, and New Mexico Tech.
“The inclusion of these diverse and dynamic organizations marks a significant leap towards developing a clean energy hub in the region,” said 4CCEA Executive Director, Matthew Gonzales. “Their commitment strengthens our push for clean energy solutions like hydrogen, solar, and wind power, and cutting-edge technologies in battery storage and carbon capture.”
Four Corners Clean Energy Alliance’s (4CCEA) was organized to encourage, support, and advocate for a robust and sustainable clean, low-carbon energy industry produced under stringent environmental standards. Its coverage area includes sections of New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, and Colorado with an emphasis on tribal communities and the Four Corners area. According to Gonzales, the Four Corners area is becoming known as an emerging epicenter of clean energy development in the United States including but not limited to clean hydrogen, solar, wind development and battery storage, carbon capture and sequestration (CCS), pumped storage hydropower, and Responsibly Sourced Natural Gas (RSG).
“The addition of our latest member companies is critical to advancing transparent, evidence-based dialogue and public engagement, especially on the Navajo Nation,” added 4CCEA Chairman, Steve Grey. “This is a crucial time for the Four Corners region and the Navajo Nation, as we join forces to lead the way in responsible and sustainable energy development in the U.S.”
