The Energy Department announced a reorganization on Thursday that it says will better reflect the Trump administration’s priorities.
An organizational chart released to the public no longer lists the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy. According to the department, this office will be renamed as the newly established Office of Critical Minerals and Energy Innovation. That office will also take on pieces of what was formerly the Grid Deployment, Clean Energy Demonstrations and fossil energy and carbon management offices, among others.
Spokesperson Emery Washington said that the reorganization will not result in staff reductions. In addition, the reorganization reassigns offices related to electricity and nuclear energy from falling under the under secretary for science and innovation to under the secretary’s office.
Similarly, the Hydrocarbons and Geothermal Energy Office will also fall under the secretary. “Hydrocarbons” typically refer to fossil fuels. The reorganization also appears to rename the Loan Programs Office to the Office of Energy Dominance Financing.
