Description (excerpt):
NASEO developed this brief on comprehensive state energy planning trends to support State Energy Offices and their partners as they engage in comprehensive energy planning processes. Comprehensive energy planning helps states take a holistic view of their energy sector covering key concerns around energy supplies, economic development, end–use sectors such as transportation or buildings, and overarching goals like energy equity and resiliency. This brief illustrates the approach and scope of several recent state planning efforts, identifies trends among these comprehensive energy plans, and highlights key issues. NASEO reviewed four comprehensive energy plans prepared since 2019. Results from NASEO’s 2020 Member Survey were leveraged to identify recently updated plans and provide summary statistics where appropriate. The four states examined – New Jersey, Florida, Washington, and Oklahoma – are diverse geographically, demographically, and politically, and approached their planning processes in a variety of ways.
