2023’s industry events covered a range of hot topics, from improving energy equity and creating healthy homes to achieving net-zero and transitioning to electric vehicles (EVs). However, the standout moment of the fourth quarter belongs to the National Association of State Energy Office (NASEO) Annual Meeting, where participants buzzed with excitement over the Inflation Reduction Act’s (IRA) pending 2024 rollout. We were honored to engage directly with state energy offices, offering our insights and expertise as they actively prepare for this pivotal opportunity in our nation’s energy efficiency journey. Our event session focused on streamlining the process of income verification, with an emphasis on categorical eligibility and optimizing household qualifications for IRA incentives.
Looking ahead, 2024’s conferences and gatherings are largely centered around the theme of innovation. We’re excited to attend a series of first-quarter events about shaping the IRA program landscape through inventive approaches.
