Abstract: The U.S. Department of Energy’s State Energy Program (SEP) provides funding and technical assistance to states, territories, and the District of Columbia to enhance energy security, advance state-led energy initiatives, and increase energy affordability. SEP emphasizes the state’s role as the decision-maker and administrator for program activities within the state that are tailored to their unique resources, delivery capacity, and energy goals. DOE requests authorization to gather information on the status of SEP activities.
