The Missouri Department of Natural Resources' Division of Energy convenes governmental, industry and community stakeholders to plan for energy’s role in Missouri’s economic future. The division has conducted state energy planning exercises since the 1990s. The most recent planning exercises included the Comprehensive State Energy Plan (CSEP) and the Missouri State Energy Planning (MoSEP) process. Since the release of CSEP in 2015, much has changed in the energy sector and the conclusions and objectives of 10 years ago may no longer be applicable.
Today, the energy landscape is transforming. The nation’s focus is on “a reliable, diversified, and affordable supply of energy to drive manufacturing, transportation, agriculture, and defense industries, and to sustain the basics of modern life and military preparedness.”
- Unleashing American Energy (EO 14154)
- Declaring a National Energy Emergency (EO 14156)
In light of these Presidential Executive Orders, the department will be developing potential solutions for the state that will meet Missouri’s specific energy needs.
Prior State Energy Planning Efforts
Missouri State Energy Planning (MoSEP) – 2020-2023
Following the completion of the Comprehensive State Energy Plan (CSEP) in 2015, much had changed in the energy sector. In furthering the priorities of infrastructure, workforce development and government efficiency, the Missouri Department of Natural Resources initiated the Missouri State Energy Planning (MoSEP) process.
MoSEP identified topics critical to Missouri's energy needs through stakeholder engagement. The department brought together stakeholders to address emerging issues and embarked on a two-year process to consider select topics in-depth.
After two rounds of regional meetings, the department identified stakeholder-suggested Initiatives for MoSEP Cycle 1 based on criteria presented during the regional meetings. These criteria include the relation of initiatives to the six statewide MoSEP core values: having an initiative “champion” to partner with the department, and being regionally relevant, consensus-based (to the greatest extent possible), actionable, time-bound and measurable.
The MoSEP Summary and Action Report outlined Missouri's contemporary energy landscape and summarized activity that occurred in association with the MoSEP kickoff meeting and subsequent stakeholder engagement.
The department developed the following resources to provide information on Missouri’s evolving energy landscape:
- Energy Data Dashboard
- Missouri State Energy Planning (MoSEP) - Missouri Energy Data and Trends - PUB2887
- Missouri State Energy Planning (MoSEP) Summary and Action Report Cycle 1 - PUB3054
Comprehensive State Energy Plan (CSEP) – 2015
How Missouri produces and consumes energy has a profound and lasting impact on our economy, our security and our quality of life. Missouri’s Comprehensive State Energy Plan (CSEP) was an effort to develop an energy plan that balanced the need for low-cost, reliable energy with our duty to be responsible stewards of the environment.
