DOE Partnerships NASEO actively collaborates with U.S. DOE offices (Office of Electricity and DOE's GAIN) on initiatives to advance state-led energy programs. Recent efforts include financing strategies for energy-efficient manufactured homes and the Advanced Nuclear First Movers Initiative, signaling a strong federal-state collaboration channel. This creates a sales opportunity to offer program management, data integration, and implementation services to support DOE-backed initiatives across 56 states and territories.

State Network As the sole national association for governor-designated state energy officials, NASEO provides a broad access point to state programs across many jurisdictions. This positions a sales partner to reach procurement-ready programs, training platforms, and analytics tailored for state energy offices, leveraging NASEO's network to accelerate pilots and scale deployments.

Financing Programs NASEO's funding profile and emphasis on financing and ownership models for energy efficiency indicate demand for financial technology and program-management tools. The collaboration with DOE on financing mechanisms and large-scale initiatives suggests opportunities to offer grant management systems, incentive tracking, ROI analytics, and project-portfolio solutions for state programs.

Policy & Data NASEO contributes to energy policy discussions and state-level data resources, including USEER reports and congressional briefings. A vendor can provide data intelligence, dashboards, benchmarking, and impact reporting that supports state energy plans and federal advocacy efforts.

Events & Tech NASEO enables peer learning and partner discussions through events and forums, creating opportunities for sponsorship, training, and technology demonstrations. Given their IT footprint and focus on secure, scalable collaboration, there is potential to offer secure hosting, IT modernization, cyber security, and event-management solutions to support their networked activities.
