A coalition of organizations requests that the U.S. Congress fund DOE energy efficiency programs at the highest approved levels for FY2020, citing their role in climate mitigation and economic growth. The letter specifies funding requests for offices including Advanced Manufacturing, Building Technologies, and Vehicle Technologies, while calling for timely fund disbursement and the resolution of staffing shortages within the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE).

• Energy efficiency is described as the most effective solution for climate change, with the International Energy Agency stating it could provide over 40% of the emissions reductions required to meet international climate goals.
• The energy efficiency sector has contributed to the creation of more than 2.3 million jobs.
• The coalition requests specific FY2020 funding levels for several DOE programs, including $380 million for the Advanced Manufacturing Office, $300 million for the Building Technologies Office, $410 million for the Vehicle Technologies Program, and $132 million for the Energy Information Administration.
• The coalition expresses concern over staffing and hiring reductions within the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) and requests a plan to reach full staffing levels.
• The letter advocates for the timely disbursement of funds and requests that the DOE does not prioritize early-stage research and development over later-stage deployment and demonstration activities.
