SUMMARY: Governor Tate Reeves announced Mississippi’s “Power Play” initiative, aiming to lead the nation in energy production. The plan seeks to address the state’s energy deficit, as it consumes nearly four times more energy than it produces. Reeves outlined three goals: cut red tape, attract investment, and establish Mississippi as a national energy model. The initiative emphasizes faster permit approvals, investments in traditional and renewable energy, and exploring small modular nuclear reactors. Reeves hopes to lay the foundation for sustainable growth, even after his tenure, positioning Mississippi as a key player in the energy sector.
