The South Carolina Energy Office (SCEO) is working with its utility partners in addition to the Municipal Association of South Carolina, the S.C. Association of Counties, S.C. Association of City and County Administrators, as well as private entities, such as the S.C. Clean Energy Business Alliance and the S.C. Solar Council, to hold a series of workshops for planning and zoning officials across the state in May.

In addition, the State Fire Academy will host sessions for first responders.
