Modernizing American Energy Innovation: Five Ways to Re-energize DOE (June 2025) analyzes challenges and opportunities at the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) as it increases end-to-end support for energy innovation.
DOE has long played a key role in driving innovation and economic growth, supporting national security, and maintaining U.S. competitiveness. With unprecedented resources granted by Congress through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) of 2021 and the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (IRA), DOE is positioned to scale energy innovation like never before. However, the department’s outdated structures are struggling to keep pace with its evolving clean energy mission; recent cuts to staff further threaten the department’s ability to carry out its duties.
