How to Find Your State or Territory Energy Office Through NASEO

Updated

NASEO (the National Association of State Energy Officials) provides a "Find Your State or Territory Energy Office" tool on its website at naseo.org. You use it by clicking on an interactive map of the United States and its territories to reach information about the energy office serving that jurisdiction. This is the most direct route if you want to identify which state agency handles energy policy and programs where you live, or if you need to locate that office's contact details.

What the NASEO lookup tool is

NASEO is a national nonprofit association whose members are the state and territory energy offices. Because it represents these offices collectively, its site acts as a directory that points visitors to the individual offices. The homepage includes a section labeled "Find Your State or Territory Energy Office" with the instruction to click on the map to learn more.

The map covers the 50 states plus U.S. territories and the District of Columbia. The site's own labels list the following jurisdiction codes alongside the map: AS (American Samoa), GU (Guam), MP (Northern Mariana Islands), PR (Puerto Rico), and VI (U.S. Virgin Islands).

How to use it

  1. Go to naseo.org.
  2. Locate the "Find Your State or Territory Energy Office" section on the homepage.
  3. Click your state or territory on the map.
  4. Review the resulting page for that jurisdiction's energy office.

The expected result is a page identifying the energy office for the selected jurisdiction, which you can then use to find that office's own website and contact information. NASEO's own contact details, for reference, are listed as 1812 North Moore Street, Suite 1810, Arlington, Virginia 22209, phone (703) 299-8800.

What you can expect to find

Based on how the tool is described, selecting a jurisdiction leads you to information about that state or territory's energy office. In practice this is the entry point for:

  • Identifying the correct agency name for your state or territory
  • Reaching the office's own website, where program details and staff contacts live
  • Understanding which office is the NASEO member for your jurisdiction

Note that NASEO's site is a directory and association hub, not the energy office itself. Program applications, rebates, and specific policy questions are handled by the individual state or territory office you reach through the map.

If the map does not work for you

The site also exposes several navigation paths that can help you confirm you are in the right place:

  • About → State Energy Offices: a menu item that leads to state energy office information.
  • Contact: NASEO's general contact page if you need to ask which office serves your area.
  • Search: a site search function available from the header.

A practical fallback is to search the web for "[your state] energy office" once you know the agency name from NASEO, since the state office's own site will have the most current program and contact information.

Related NASEO resources worth knowing

If your interest in state energy offices goes beyond contact information, NASEO's site organizes content by topic and program. The homepage highlights featured topics including Advanced Nuclear, Critical Minerals, Home Energy Rebates, Regional Petroleum Response Collaboratives, Geothermal Power Accelerator, the Geothermal Heating and Cooling Working Group, and the Grid Optimization Task Force. It also publishes a newsroom with state-level energy developments and a "Programs in a Box" series, including one focused on ESPC programs for K-12 schools.

These are useful if you want to understand what state energy offices actually do before or after you contact yours.
