NASEO - National Association of State Energy Officials

Webinar: Advancing a CO2 Transport Network in the United States on November 7, 2024, 2:00 - 3:00 PM ET. Please join NASEO, the Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management | U.S. Department of Energy, the Great Plains Institute, and ExxonMobil for a virtual discussion on CO2 transport and considerations for State Energy Offices next week. As CCUS technology gets deployed across the country, the need for a more robust transport network will be needed to bring captured CO2 to end-users and sequestration sites. Pipeline development in the United States is currently hampered by a number of factors related to the regulatory landscape, community and landowner concern, and cost. This webinar will explore some of these considerations and provide State Energy Offices with expert information from industry, NGOs, and state officials involved in the process.?

We hope to see you in Charlotte, North Carolina, for the NASEO-NARUC Regional Trainings for States on Integrated Distribution System Planning 2.0: Planning for Electrification and Distributed Energy Resources, December 11-12, 2024!

On July 24, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) selected 20 projects across 16 states to receive up to $371 million in the first round of the Transmission Siting and Economic Development (TSED) grant program. This funding will empower states and communities to invest in grid infrastructure and economic development. However, many local and state governments still face significant challenges when applying for competitive federal grants—often struggling with limited resources or overwhelmed by the complex process. Join us on November 14 at 12 p.m. CT for our upcoming webinar, where you’ll hear from some of DOE’s award-winning projects and discover strategies to overcome grant barriers. You’ll also learn how GPI is collaborating with applicants across the country and how we can support you in developing strong project ideas, crafting compelling applications, and securing funding to help your community thrive. Register today! https://bit.ly/47VIlku Date: November 14, 2024 Time: 12:00–1:00 p.m. CT #Transmission #TSED #grid

Exciting news out of Virginia!! ?? Today, the Virginia Department of Energy announced the launch of the Virginia Clean Energy Innovation Bank (VCEIB). Housed within the department’s State Energy Office, the VCEIB will mobilize public and private capital to accelerate deployment of projects in the clean power generation and infrastructure sectors. We're excited to learn from other institutions with similar missions and work with many partners to reduce energy costs, create jobs, and enhance grid resilience in the Commonwealth. Learn more and let us know if you'd like to partner at https://lnkd.in/eKtv2Axg. Let's go!! ?
