The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is announcing the latest opportunity for state public utility commissions (PUCs) and State Energy Offices to gain access to high impact technical assistance that will require several person-months of support. The Resources and Assistance for State Energy Offices and Regulators program will begin accepting applications for Deep Dive technical assistance requests on November 1st, 2024, which will connect State Energy Offices and PUCs with subject matter experts (SME) from Berkeley Lab, Pacific Northwest National Lab, and National Renewable Energy Laboratory regarding electricity related issues that will take considerable time and effort to address. The deadline for application submissions is January 17th, 2025. Awardees will be notified by the end of March or early April of 2025.

A public webinar, jointly hosted by the U.S. Department of Energy, Berkeley Lab, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, and NASEO provides an overview of the Resources and Assistance for State Energy Offices and Regulators program as well as the details associated with the application process for the program's Deep Dive technical assistance opportunity.
