The Budget Office in the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) tracks funding and develops the budget justifications in conjunction with EERE program offices. The Budget team also prepares for the annual congressional appropriations hearing and responds to inquiries from Congress, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)’s Chief Financial Officer (CFO).
EERE’s Fiscal Year 2017 Budget Request
The FY 2017 budget request of $2.89 billion reinforces DOE’s role in researching solutions to the nation’s energy challenges. It seeks to double U.S. clean energy investments in five years by including a $2.10 billion request for Mission Innovation to accelerate worldwide clean energy technology innovation and cost reduction. This support is an increase of $702 million from the enacted FY 2016 budget.

Budget staff maintain a budget archive of current and historical EERE funding by program and technology area. Search by office and by fiscal year to compare the budget request to the final appropriation amount.
