DOE sets spending plan for $1.474 billion in new EERE funds

DOE released its spending plan on March 16th for funds appropriated by last month's continuing resolution, which included $1.474 billion for the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE). Compared to the appropriations for fiscal year (FY) 2006, DOE's spending plan will more than double the funding for EERE's programs in hydrogen technology, solar energy, and biomass and biorefinery systems research and development. The plan also increases funding for research in wind energy and energy efficiency technologies for vehicles, buildings, and industries.
