The Iowa Economic Development Authority (IEDA) and the Iowa Department of Transportation have been tasked with preparing a state energy plan to set priorities and provide strategic guidance on Iowa’s energy future. Working groups are being formed around each pillar. Four pillars have been identified as integral to developing the energy plan.
Why apply to be part of a working group?
Working groups are being formed to provide input, review the energy data and policy assessments, and to shape the goals and strategies of the energy plan. In a rapidly evolving energy market, Iowa has been a leader and is poised to provide a foundation for the nation. As a working group member, you have the opportunity to share your energy expertise and be a part of shaping Iowa’s energy future. Apply now.
If you do not participate in a working group, you can still participate in the planning process through the public forums or by providing written input.
As we move through the process, additional areas or industry sectors might be identified that need to be analyzed and vetted. You may be asked to participate in one of these subtopic groups. These subtopic groups are expected to be smaller and to convene for a shorter time. At this time, it is unknown how many or what subtopic groups may be formed.
Please print and fill out the application. Once completed, either scan and submit the application to energyplan@iowa.gov or send via mail to:
