EERE FY 2024 Budget Request

The Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE)’s mission is to accelerate the research, development, demonstration, and deployment (RDD&D) of technologies and solutions to equitably transition America to net-zero greenhouse gas emissions economy-wide by no later than 2050, and ensure the clean energy economy benefits all Americans, creating good paying jobs for the American people—especially workers and communities impacted by the energy transition and those historically underserved by the energy system and overburdened by pollution. EERE’s work will be driven by four crosscutting principles:

  • Building the clean energy economy in a way that benefits all Americans. The budget helps address environmental injustices that disproportionately affect communities of color, low-income communities, and indigenous communities.
  • Fostering a diverse STEM workforce. We need to increase awareness of clean energy job opportunities at minority-serving institutions and ensure that organizations receiving EERE funding are thinking through diversity and equity in their own work.
  • Developing more robust workforce training opportunities to build a pipeline for permanent, good-paying jobs for the clean energy workforce.
  • Working closely with and learning from state and local governments.
