Boards and Partnerships

The Utah Office of Energy Development oversees executive boards and advisory groups that help guide the state’s energy future. In addition, OED partners with businesses, community organizations, and other entities through collaboration and formal agreements such as memorandums of understanding (MOUs). Together, these efforts drive innovation, support economic growth, and keep Utah at the forefront of responsible energy development.
