Governor Roy Cooper announced today that Dionne Delli-Gatti will serve as North Carolina Clean Energy Director. From this position, Delli-Gatti will work on administrative efforts to promote clean energy in North Carolina including negotiating energy legislation, advancing regulatory efforts, implementing Executive Order 80 and more.

"Dionne Delli-Gatti has the experience and qualifications to serve as Secretary of DEQ, and the legislature's baseless political criticism of her credentials is but a smokescreen to thwart North Carolina's transition to clean energy that she has the knowledge to help put in place. I am pleased that Dionne will continue to serve our state in the role of North Carolina Clean Energy Director as we transition to renewable energy," said Gov. Cooper.
