BATON ROUGE, LA – The Governors Coalition for Energy Security (GCES) today released a set of comprehensive policy recommendations to tackle the significant systemic challenges

Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry and New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu announced the new Governors’ Coalition for Energy Choice this week, citing rising costs.

The governors said they have reached out to 24 fellow governors across the country to invite them to join the coalition.

Governor Kristi Noem is one of the founding members of the Governor’s Coalition for Energy Choice (Coalition). The Coalition will help state leaders formulate smart energy policies that will benefit working families, businesses, and our communities.

The group aims to limit permitting and “energy mandates,” echoing some of Donald Trump’s rhetoric on the campaign trail.

Gov. Kevin Stitt gives his State of the State address in the House chamber of the Oklahoma State Capitol in February.

Gov. Glenn Youngkin has joined a group of nine other Republican governors who are advocating for “energy choice,” intending to “minimize permitting and other regulatory barriers” and “limit expensive energy mandates,” among other goals.

Ten Republican governors this week announced a coalition aimed at reducing regulations around energy production and opposing renewable energy mandates.
