# Presentation: 831471

## EERE Project Management CenterOverview

-  National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL)
-  Golden Field Office (GO)

## Purpose of Consolidation - Recap

- The Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) determined that to _more efficiently and effectively manage EERE’s deployment and outreach activities_ to consolidate these efforts in two offices:
- Golden Field Office (GO)
- National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL)

*Background*

**Notes:**
Operational efficiencies were the one of the main reasons cited for consolidating EERE operations in the field.
Prior to consolidation, the integration of R&D activities with deployment was not present; therefore the integration of the deployment work with the R&D work at each PMC location makes the best use of synergies between staff that support these functions.

## Programs, Projects & Procurement

- 10 _Programs_ in EERE; most focus on end-use sector or technology, e.g., Building Technologies, Industrial Technologies, Solar Energy
- Each _Program_ managed by a HQ _Program Manager_
- _Programs_ contain many _Projects_ or activities
- _Projects_ managed by a _PMC_ _Project Manager_
- _Projects_ awarded by _PMC_ _Procurement_ to Recipients, e.g., State Energy Office, Weatherization Office

*Background*

**Notes:**
This slide is attempting to describe the differences between program and project management. 
Programs are managed by HQ at a national level
Projects are managed in the field.
Projects are normally awarded by the field (PMC) contracting officer (Procurement office), and then managed/monitored by field project managers.

## DOE HQ Organizational Structure

*Background*

- Assistant Secretary
- Andrew Karsner

**DAS for Business Administration**
- Rita Wells

- 10 Tech. Dev. Programs

- 3 BA Offices

- Project Management Center

**DAS for Technology Development**
- David Rodgers (Acting)

**Notes:**
This slide depicts the relationship between the HQ offices and the virtual PMC.  
In the case of the Golden Field Office, they report organizationally to Rita Wells/ DAS/BA, yet are responsible for awarding and managing projects for the 10 program offices in TD.

- *  Subprograms where Program responsibility resides at the other PMC entity

*Background*

**Notes:**
This slide describes the current division of program implementation between the two PMC sites. 
Need to note the distinction of the sub-programs managed at each site (i.e. Industrial and FEM/BEMP at NETL and Native American at GO).
Need to mention that GO also is maintaining the National Parks management related to the Clean Cities program now managed by NETL (not reflected on the chart).

## PMC Allocation of  Program & States 

_**National Project and Contracting Officers assigned by Program Lead**_

- Western RO Offices Consolidate
- to Golden

- Eastern RO Offices Consolidate
- to NETL

- Golden

- NETL

- Hydrogen	Geothermal
- Solar	Biomass
- Wind/Hydro	Industrial
- FEMP

- Weatherization and Intergovernmental Programs *
- Building Technologies
- FreedomCAR & Vehicle Technologies

- * For WAP and SEP, NETL is Project Office for Eastern States, and Golden is Project Office for Western States

*PMC Allocation of  Program & States *

- Golden

- NETL

**Notes:**
This slide is an attempt to graphically illustrate the division of program implementation between the two PMC sites, yet the assignment of states to each PMC site for WAP and SEP projects.
Important Points:
	Both GO and NETL will have national responsibly and working relationships with all 50 states and 5 territories for all programs, except for WAP and SEP.
	The GO will manage projects with WAP and SEP for the states formally a part of the Western, Central and Mid-West Regions.
	NETL will manage projects with WAP and SEP for the states formally a part of the Mid-Atlantic, Northeast and Southeast Regions.
	NETL will be the contracting office for all WAP and SEP grants.

*Doing Business w/PMC*

*What is the same.....*

## Face-to-face communications limited by travel funds
Anticipate more telecommunications 
May deal with two DOE Contracting Offices (ex. Buildings versus Wind projects)
Former “Regional” State groupings, i.e., future States activities may be defined by other factors, e.g., climatic, technology, end-use sector
