On Feb. 9, 2022, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced an organizational realignment to ensure that the Department has the structure needed to effectively implement the clean energy investments in President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the Energy Act of 2020. The new alignment bolsters DOE’s ability to advance more clean energy breakthroughs, accelerate clean infrastructure nationwide, and support market-ready solutions to fight the climate crisis. The new organizational structure establishes two Under Secretaries: one focused on fundamental science and clean energy innovation and the other focused on deploying clean infrastructure—supporting DOE’s ongoing work to achieve carbon-free electricity in the United States by 2035 and a net zero economy by 2050.
