According to the U.S. Secretary of Energy, the department aims to promote energy abundance to foster health, wealth, and opportunity across society. This includes revitalizing domestic energy production to restore American energy dominance at home and abroad.
To achieve global competitiveness, the department plans to increase energy output while lowering costs for American families and businesses. A key part of this strategy is advancing innovation and technology breakthroughs, particularly through the Department’s National Laboratories.
The Department also seeks to address federal regulatory barriers that hinder energy infrastructure projects by streamlining the permitting process and removing obstacles to progress.
Additionally, the department stresses a culture of transparency, strong performance, and common-sense policies to support these goals.
These priorities are part of a broader agenda to position the United States as a global energy leader, as outlined by the department’s nine strategic focus areas.
