NASEO will host an information session for State and Territory Energy Offices on the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Transmission Siting and Economic Development (TSED) Grant Program. TSED is a new initiative designed to overcome state and local challenges to expanding transmission capacity while also supporting communities along major new and upgraded lines. This program will make available up to $300 million in grants for states, tribes, and local governments to accelerate and strengthen electric transmission siting and permitting processes. Concept papers are due October 31, 2023.  On the call, representatives from the Grid Deployment Office will provide an overview of the program and be available to answer questions. Please register here. Contact Catherine Reed at creed@naseo.org with any questions.
