Missouri Department of Natural Resources narrows scope of Request for Proposals for new state energy plan.
The Missouri Department of Natural Resources’ Division of Energy and the Environmental Improvement and Energy Resources Authority are tightening the focus from the recently advertised Request for Proposals for a new Comprehensive State Energy Plan.
We are narrowing the scope of our request for proposals to be more Missouri centric with additional focus on power generation and transmission. Because this plan will model the path forward for the next decade or more, it will include a comprehensive analysis of financial and funding aspects of Missouri’s energy future.
The narrowed request will be posted in the coming days and seeks a contractor to produce the State Energy Plan by August 1, 2026.

Solar Energy Financing Program Terminated
In July 2024, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) awarded $156,120,000 in funding through the Inflation Reduction Act’s Solar For All program to Missouri’s EIERA. EIERA employed a consultant to design the program with plans to launch in fall 2025. On August 7, 2025, EPA notified EIERA the Solar for All program has been terminated nationwide. The Authority will continue seeking opportunities to support energy development in Missouri.
