States are involved in all phases of developing and deploying renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies, often in partnership with the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) State Energy Program (SEP). State energy offices manage projects in the four market sectors that produce and consume energy: buildings, electric power, industry, and transportation. They also support policy initiatives as required by their state legislatures and executives. Finally, they are at the forefront of public information campaigns to educate the public about the benefits of energy-efficient products and the potential of renewable energy.
Here you will learn how the State Energy Program categorizes these projects by topic, definitions of included projects, and links to project descriptions for each topic.
Find links to descriptions of projects funded by DOE Formula Grants to the states organized by topic.
Find project descriptions of SEP Special Projects.
Find definitions of SEP topics that are useful for categorizing the work of state energy offices under DOE's State Energy Program. There are also links to state energy office projects that exemplify a particular type of work, and a short list of the types of projects that are not included under each topic to differentiate it from another SEP topic.
