Powering Arkansas
The coming years will test our state’s electric grid. Powering Arkansas is a nonpartisan coalition of Arkansans united to engage and empower voices across The Natural State who support utility-scale renewable energy developments. Our mission is simple: accelerate energy growth in Arkansas by connecting people who understand that a modern, reliable grid requires local, scalable solutions.
If you agree that we need to move every available electron we can get onto the grid to build a future for Arkansas where energy is homegrown, reliable, and abundant, Powering Arkansas invites you to join us. This is about real progress, real collaboration, and real results. It's about lower bills, local jobs, and a more resilient grid for tomorrow. We can pursue practical policies that streamline permitting while encouraging investment in our rural communities.
Together, we will drive the energy future Arkansas deserves.
