A letter from a coalition of organizations to the U.S. Senate and House Committees on Appropriations requesting that Fiscal Year 2020 funding for U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) energy efficiency programs be set at the highest approved levels.

• The coalition argues that energy efficiency is the most effective tool for mitigating climate change, citing International Energy Agency data that it could provide over 40% of the emissions reductions required to meet international climate goals.
• The letter 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 requests funding for the Weatherization Assistance Program at $303.5 million (Senate level) and the State Energy Program at $70 million (House level).
• The authors express concern over staffing and hiring reductions within the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE), urging the Under Secretary of Energy to provide a plan to reach full staffing levels.
• The coalition urges the DOE to distribute funds in a timely manner and avoid prioritizing early-stage research and development over later-stage deployment and demonstration activities.
