The National Association of State Energy Officials (NASEO) seeks a Senior Advisor to provide expertise and support for energy financing projects and deliverables. The Senior Advisor will work with NASEO to support State Energy Offices in developing and operating energy financing programs, including Energy Savings Performance Contracting (ESPC), State Energy Revolving Loan Funds, loan loss reserves, on-bill financing, Green Banks, and Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy (C-PACE) programs.
The Senior Advisor will assist with four primary work streams: (1) supporting NASEO's Financing Committee through peer-to-peer learning on energy financing topics, directing program resources, meetings, and webinars, and reviewing educational resources for accuracy; (2) supporting the development of Energy Efficiency Revolving Loan Funds by creating resources, identifying successful state programs, and assisting with case studies and meeting agendas; (3) complementing existing energy programs with new incentives by reviewing tax incentive-related resources and helping states understand energy tax credits and incentives; and (4) improving energy performance in public and institutional facilities through ESPC education and promotion of DOE training programs.
The Senior Advisor will also support NASEO's work on clean energy fund development and green banks, attending discussions with State Energy Offices, offering advice on project development, and reviewing summary reports and program models. The contract period extends from February 1, 2025, to December 31, 2025. Compensation is based on actual hours worked at an approved hourly rate, invoiced monthly with reimbursement upon DOE payment to NASEO. The underlying terms of the DOE cooperative agreement will apply to this subcontract.
Key dates include a question deadline of December 13, 2024, with answers posted to the NASEO RFP website. A kick-off meeting will be hosted with the selected Senior Advisor to discuss the scope of work in further detail.
