The DOE Summer Energy Outlook Conference and Energy Data and Assurance Planning Workshop

April 20-21, 2010 -- Denver, CO

The Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability (OE) in conjunction with the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) and the National Association of State Energy Officials (NASEO) are pleased to invite you to the Summer Energy Outlook Conference and a special, interactive Workshop on Energy Data and Assurance Planning.

The Summer Energy Outlook Conference will feature the Energy Information Administration's (EIA) Short-Term Energy Outlook and presentations by industry representatives and energy experts. The purpose of the event is to provide attendees with information on what to expect for the upcoming summer season by featuring national and global perspectives on energy supplies, demand, and prices.

Following the Outlook conference, DOE/EIA and NASEO will conduct the Energy Data and Assurance Planning Workshop -- to be held on Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday morning. The Workshop, designed for the recipients of the State and Local Energy Assurance grants, will help attendees identify and understand how to use EIA energy data through a series of energy-based scenarios. EIA staff will be on hand to provide expertise and instruction. The afternoon session will be useful in helping State and local officials prepare energy assurance plans and respond to energy emergencies.

On Wednesday morning, presenters will provide information on grant guidelines and templates for tracking energy supply disruptions and preparing energy assurance plans. This will allow grantees to be part of an interactive discussion and receive the latest information on grant requirements and deliverables.

Sessions topics will include:

  • Energy Data Resources and Navigating the Energy Information Administration Website
  • Brief Energy Emergency Scenarios and Energy Data Research Needs
  • Energy Assurance Grant Management
  • State Energy Assurance Planning
  • Understanding Critical Infrastructure
  • State and Local Energy Profiles

The DOE Summer Energy Outlook will be held on Tuesday, April 20, from 8:15 a.m.-12:00 p.m. The Energy Data and Assurance Planning Workshop will begin with lunch at 12:00 p.m. on Tuesday, April 20, and conclude at 12:00 p.m. on Wednesday, April 21.
