The Energy Department is making broad changes with a reorganization that shuffles offices under two new undersecretaries—one for energy and one for science—in what agency leadership calls
an effort to improve efficiency.
“We are aligning the agency’s organization to its statutory requirement and its mission,” Deputy Secretary Dan Brouillette told Bloomberg Environment in an exclusive interview.
“This president and secretary have made it very clear that we will pursue an all-of-the-above energy strategy that is, in
fact, the historical mission of the department,” he said. DOE staff was told about the reorganization for the first time in an internal meeting at 11 a.m. today. Brouillette said no employees will be laid off in this reorganization.
The reorganization, effective
today, involves moving offices from the previous “Office of the Under Secretary for Science and Energy” into two separate offices: the “Office of the Under Secretary for Energy” and “Office of the Under Secretary for Science.”
