On May 6 at 8:30 a.m., the Quadrennial Energy Review Task Force will hold a public stakeholder meeting at the State Historical Building, 600 E. Locust Street, Des Moines, Iowa. It will also be livestreamed at energy.gov/live.

This meeting is the third of six regional QER public input meetings, all of which are based on wholesale market footprints as a convenient approach to capturing and assisting the Interagency QER Task Force in understanding the nation’s regional electricity diversity, which is characterized by differing resource mixes, state policies, and a host of other factors.

In addition to the May 6 meeting in Des Moines the Quadrennial Energy Review Task Force will hold public stakeholder meetings this spring in the following locations:

1. Monday, May 9, 9:30 a.m., at the University of Texas, Peter O' Donnell, Jr. Applied Computational Engineering and Sciences Building, Avaya Auditorium (POB 2.302), 201 E. 24th Street, Austin, Texas.

2. Tuesday, May 10, 9:00 a.m., at City Hall, Tom Bradley Tower Room, 200 N. Spring Street, Los Angeles, California.

3. Tuesday, May 24, 10:00 a.m., Georgia Tech GTRI Conference Center, 250 14th Street, NW, Atlanta, Georgia.

The purpose of the meetings is to solicit input on issues covering electricity from generation to end-use. Each meeting will feature remarks by government officials, moderated panel discussions from a diverse group of energy policy experts from the private and public sector, and an opportunity for you to provide comments during an open microphone session.

Meeting agendas and a background memo will be posted at energy.gov/qer.
