State and Local Climate and Energy Program
State Climate and Energy Technical Forum (by date)
In November 2004, EPA launched the State Technical Forum to help state staff explore analytical questions and resolve key issues surrounding state climate change and clean energy efforts. Organized as a monthly facilitated discussion among state energy, environmental, and public utility commission officials, the Technical Forum features peer exchanges, expert presentations, and targeted background documents.
Materials from the State RPS Collaborative – a temporary offshoot of the Technical Forum convened in April, May, and June 2005 – are also available. To receive announcements about future webcasts, sign up for EPA's State Technical Forum Update or contact Erica Bollerud (Bollerud.Erica@epamail.epa.gov).
Upcoming Forums
The next Technical Forum has not been scheduled. Files from past forums are available below.
