NASEO is the only national non-profit organization whose membership includes the governor-designated energy officials from each state and territory.
NASEO was formed by the states and through an agreement with the National Governors Association in 1986. The organization was created to improve the effectiveness and quality of state energy programs and policies, provide policy input and analysis, share successes among the states, and to be a repository of information on issues of particular concern to the states and their citizens. NASEO is an instrumentality of the states and derives basic funding from the states and the federal government.
Members are senior officials from the State and Territory Energy Offices, as well as affiliates from the private and public sectors. Member state agencies work on an extremely wide range of energy programs and policies.
State Energy Assurance Webpage
NASEO also offers an Energy Assurance Program webpage.
Through the Energy Assurance Program work, NASEO provides direct technical assistance, education and outreach to support states’ energy assurance planning, response, and smart grid resiliency efforts. This effort is sponsored and supported by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability (OE).
The NASEO Energy & Data Security Committee serves as the focal point of the program and committee members participate in planning and implementation activities aimed at facilitating peer exchange, offering expert input into state activities, and facilitating regional coordination.
This series of webpages is designed to serve as a one-stop-shop for energy assurance resources related to the NASEO Energy Assurance Program work. Sections include: State Energy Assurance Planning and Response Tools; DOE Energy Assurance Planning Bulletins; Analysis and Tracking of Energy Disruptions Resources; ARRA - Supporting State Government Energy Assurance Planning; and additional references and resources.
