This month, the NASEO Rural Energy Working Group will relaunch with its first quarterly meeting of 2024. Attendees will learn more about the objectives and mission of the Working Group and hear directly from several states on relevant partnerships and funding available from the federal government to advance rural energy priorities and support communities. The Rural Energy Working Group addresses key issues impacting energy use on rural lands and agricultural operations. Key focus areas include options for renewable energy development on rural lands, efficient energy and water use in agricultural operations, and geographic equity in developing energy efficiency programming. Please reach out to Jasmine Xie (jxie@naseo.org) if you would like to participate.
