Analysis & Outreach

Part of DOE's mission is to ensure its stakeholders are active in defining, and re-defining, what it does. To that effect, it works closely with state and local governments—hosting conferences, preparing briefs, analyzing state or local plans, and developing tools to ensure a process that is both fluid and effective. Below are some of its and others' results.
