SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

January 9, 2014, President Obama 

issued a Presidential Memorandum— 

Establishing a Quadrennial Energy 

Review. To accomplish this review, the 

Presidential Memorandum establishes a 

Quadrennial Energy Review Task Force 

to be co-chaired by the Director of the 

Office of Science and Technology 

Policy, and the Director of the Domestic 

Policy Council. Under the Presidential 

Memorandum, the Secretary of Energy 

shall provide support to the Task Force, 

including support for coordination 

activities related to the preparation of 

the Quadrennial Energy Review Report, 

policy analysis and modeling, and 

stakeholder engagement. 

The DOE, as the Secretariat for the 

Quadrennial Energy Review Task Force, 

will hold a series of public meetings to 

discuss and receive comments on issues 

related to the Quadrennial Energy 

Review. 

The initial focus for the Quadrennial 

Energy Review will be our Nation’s 

infrastructure for transporting, 

transmitting, storing and delivering 

energy. Our current infrastructure is 

increasingly challenged by 

transformations in energy supply, 

markets, and patterns of end use; issues 

of aging and capacity; impacts of 

climate change; and cyber and physical 

threats. Any vulnerability in this 

infrastructure may be exacerbated by the 

increasing interdependencies of energy 

systems with water, 

telecommunications, transportation, and 

emergency response systems. The first 

Quadrennial Energy Review Report will 

serve as a roadmap to help address these 

challenges. 

The Department of Energy has a broad 

role in energy policy development and 

the largest role in implementing the 

Federal Government’s energy research 

and development portfolio. Many other 

executive departments and agencies also 

play key roles in developing and 

implementing policies governing energy 

resources and consumption, as well as
