The Department of Energy, in partnership with its customers, is
entrusted to contribute to the welfare of the Nation by providing the
technical information and the scientific and educational foundation for
the technology, policy, and institutional leadership necessary to
achieve efficiency in energy use, diversity in energy sources, a more
productive and competitive economy, improved environmental quality, and
a secure national defense.
The Department of Energy (DOE) was established by the Department of
Energy Organization Act (42 U.S.C. 7131), effective October 1, 1977,
pursuant to Executive Order 12009 of September 13, 1977. The act
consolidated the major Federal energy functions into one Cabinet-level
Department.
Offices managing programs which require large budget outlays or
provide technical direction and support are structured to reflect the
principal programmatic missions of the Department: energy programs,
national security programs, environmental management programs, and
science and technology programs. The energy programs area includes the
Assistant Secretary for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, the
Assistant Secretary for Fossil Energy, the Office of Nuclear Energy,
Science, and Technology, the Power Marketing Administrations, and the
