The U.S. energy economy accounts for trillions of dollars in investments and millions of jobs – which are expected to keep growing. Technology and policy innovation in the energy sector has created vast economic development opportunities for state and local governments and private sector job creation across the country. 

State Energy Offices play a crucial role in enabling private sector investment and innovation in the energy economy. NASEO works to encourage best practice exchanges in energy-based economic development, job creation, technology innovation, stakeholder coordination, and energy permitting and siting at the state and local level.
