U.S. Rep. Jodey Arrington, R-Texas, is the 2018 recipient of the first Tri Global Energy (TGE) Wind Leadership Award, recognizing commitment to wind development and to the people who rely on wind farms to support their families and communities, says TGE.
“I am honored to receive this award,” says Arrington. “West Texas is the food, fuel and fiber capital of our nation. I’m proud that our region leads the nation in both renewable and fossil energy production. Harnessing the power of wind in west Texas has not only provided good jobs for rural America and helped power our state’s economy, but it has broadened and diversified our energy production, which will support our nation’s energy independence for future generations.”
“We are very proud to recognize Jodey’s leadership in Texas wind energy,” adds John Billingsley, chairman and CEO of TGE. “His efforts have helped Texas to retain its top ranking in wind energy development in the nation and globally. Jodey is a true leader who understands the impact of wind energy for Texas.”
Based out of Dallas, TGE develops wind energy projects across Texas.
