National Energy Summit for States: Navigating Energy Trends and Federal Programs

In April 2024, a successful conference titled IRA, BIL, and the Future of Energy: A Summit to Support State Implementation brought together state and federal government leaders and program staff who are working to implement federal energy programs. Mark your calendars for a follow-on event in 2025 that will provide unparalleled opportunities for information sharing, networking, and practical advice.

When: May 28-29, 2025

Where: Kellogg Conference Hotel, Gallaudet University, Washington, DC

Who Should Attend: Only state and federal government policymakers, regulators, and program staff are eligible to attend.

Fees: Attendance is free for state and federal government employees; lunches and an evening reception/dinner during the Summit will be provided.

Sponsor: U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Policy

The Summit will be discussion-heavy so that attendees can learn from each other about states’ energy plans, programs, and lessons learned.

Participants at the Summit will:

• Engage with state officials working on IRA/BIL implementation across the country
• Hear from and interact with federal officials who are administering federal energy initiatives
• Explore opportunities for state implementation of IRA/BIL and other federal initiatives
• Learn about innovative state-level energy programs
• Understand the technical support available from federal agencies, national laboratories, and nonprofits to deploy IRA/BIL programs.

Travel assistance: Travel support will be available for one delegate from each state, but multiple participants are encouraged to attend from a state. The delegate will receive reimbursement for two nights’ room at the conference hotel, plus travel expenses (up to $450 for individuals within 750 miles of DC, or up to $650 for individuals coming from further away).

Registration: Registration will open in early 2025, when a detailed agenda will be announced.

Organizers: The Summit is being organized by the Clean Energy States Alliance (CESA), Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners (NARUC), and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Policy.
