Officials celebrate Cleco Alternative Energy Center

Cleco and the University of Louisiana at Lafayette showed off the Cleco Alternative Energy Center Wednesday, where researchers explore ways to generate power by using renewable resources.

The center is part of the five-acre UL Lafayette Energy Development Complex in Crowley, La. It was created in response to a directive from the Louisiana Public Service Commission to Louisiana power producers to evaluate technical and economic aspects of producing electricity power from sustainable materials, rather than fossil fuels.

A ribbon-cutting ceremony was attended by state, local, industry and university officials, who also toured the facility.
