The Division of Energy will begin an Energy Stakeholder Process to elicit discussion on complex energy issues, trends, opportunities and challenges for the State of Missouri.

Participants in the Energy Stakeholder Process will work together with the division’s project facilitator, The Cadmus Group, to identify and prioritize key implementable recommendations for where the Division of Energy should focus its efforts and expend its resources, post ARRA. The results of the stakeholder process will be used to develop an Agenda for Action for the Division of Energy and go on to inform the Division’s strategic planning, budget planning and resource allocation decisions.

A small ‘core group’ approach has been chosen to provide an in-depth review and analysis of these complex energy issues and how the Division of Energy might promote the best energy choices for the citizens of this state.  We are planning to hold three one-day meetings and one large public stakeholder meeting.

Please visit the energy section of our website to learn more.

All meetings will be open to the public, though the dialogue in the first three of these meetings will be limited to invited participants.  There will be ample opportunity for the public to make comments and raise questions at the Public Meeting on Nov. 14, 2011. The energy stakeholder will process will consummate Feb. 2012.
