The following is a list of the state energy offices (SEOs) in the 50 states and the District of Columbia. While overseeing energy policy in the states, these offices differ greatly in their organization, location within the government and activities. The National Association of State Energy Officials (NASEO), “a national nonprofit association for the governor-designated energy officials,” claims these state energy offices were formed in response to the energy crisis of the early 1970s. According to NASEO, these state energy offices have the following functions:[1]

* Advance practical energy policies and support energy technology research, demonstration and deployment.
* Partner with the private sector to accelerate energy-related economic development and enhance environmental quality.
* Focus on energy efficiency and renewable energy programs, transportation fuel diversity and traditional fuel development.
* Allocate or oversee more than $7 billion of funds derived from ratepayers and state appropriations annually.
* Aid in emergency response and mitigation related to energy infrastructure, liquid fuels and cyber security.
