CARSON CITY, Nev. — The Nevada Governor’s Office of Economic Development (GOED) announced the appointment of Nathan Bouvet, GOED strategic project manager, as the new Chair of the Nevada Clean Energy Fund Board, reinforcing Nevada’s commitment to advancing clean energy investment and economic resilience statewide.
The Nevada Clean Energy Fund works to expand access to capital for clean energy and energy efficiency projects by leveraging both public and private investment. The program supports initiatives that lower energy costs, generate jobs, and strengthen local economies — particularly in rural and underserved communities.
“I’m honored to serve as Chair at a time when thoughtful, accountable investment in clean energy is critical to Nevada’s economic and environmental future,” said Bouvet. “The Clean Energy Fund plays a unique role in ensuring that energy solutions are not only innovative, but financially sound, scalable and responsive to community needs.”
Bouvet brings a multidisciplinary background in environmental science, community development and public administration, supporting a governance approach that balances sustainability goals with financial discipline, risk management and public accountability. His experience positions clean energy as both an environmental priority and a driver of Nevada’s long-term economic competitiveness and infrastructure resilience.
Having previously served as Vice Chair of the Board, Bouvet’s appointment provides leadership continuity and maintains forward momentum for the Fund’s mission. In his new role, he will focus on aligning investment strategies with state policy priorities while advancing projects that deliver measurable economic, environmental and community impact across Nevada.
