Witness:
- Chris Wright, Secretary, U.S. Department of Energy
On November 20, 2025, the Secretary of Energy announced an organizational realignment of the Department. Changes include renaming the Loan Program Office to the Office of Energy Dominance Financing and the creation of the Office of Critical Minerals and Energy Innovation, which absorbed many of the functions of the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy and the Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations and Office of Manufacturing and Energy Supply Chains. The reorganization also established new offices focused on fusion and on artificial intelligence and quantum technologies.
