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

Mark your calendars for a National Energy Summit for States, that will bring together state and federal government leaders and program staff who are working to implement energy programs, and 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.

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 to implement federal programs across the country
• Hear from and interact with federal officials who are administering federal energy initiatives
• Explore opportunities for state implementation of federal initiatives
• Learn about innovative state-level energy programs
• Understand the technical support available from federal agencies, national laboratories, and nonprofits to deploy federal 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), and the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners (NARUC).
