ICYMI: Oklahoma Gov. Stitt Urges Trump Administration to Honor Clean Energy Contracts 

Washington, D.C. — Republican Governors understand the benefits of clean energy investments in their states. In an interview with POLITICO Pro, Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt advocated for the Trump administration to honor clean energy contracts spurred by the IRA and to allow businesses to develop wind energy freely. In Oklahoma, 42% of generated electricity is from wind power.

Republican Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt urged the Trump administration to treat all types of energy production the same as it overhauls U.S. policy — and to honor the clean energy contracts signed by the Biden administration.

Stitt also said he doesn’t support Trump’s calls to repeal IRA clean energy tax credits that have drawn investments to GOP-led states like Oklahoma since companies have based their investments on the incentives. He said he plans to discuss Trump’s wind and IRA policies in conversations this week with Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, who is expected to attend the Republican governors meeting.

“That was a deal that was cut,” Stitt said of the IRA tax credits. “Congress has got opine on it, but a deal is a deal, and you can’t back up on some of those things.”
