The Office of Operations is the central organization for all Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) organizational products and services, processes, and systems. The main offices are the Golden Field Office, the Business Services Management Office and the Budget Office.

Offices

Golden Field Office

The Golden Field Office serves as the primary field agent for EERE. The office awards grants and manages contracts for EERE projects, facilitates research and development partnerships to support those technologies, and oversees DOE's National Renewable Energy Laboratory—the nation's only national lab solely dedicated to researching and developing renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies.
