EERE Project Management Center Update James M. Ferguson States Coordinator National Energy Technology Laboratory July 2006
Purpose of Consolidation • 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: • National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) • Golden Field Office (GO)
Albany, OR Pittsburgh, PA Morgantown, WV Fairbanks, AK Pennsylvania Tulsa, OK Oklahoma Oregon Alaska West Virginia National Energy Technology Laboratory • One of DOE’s 17 national labs • Government owned / operated • Sites in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Oklahoma, Alaska and Oregon • More than 1,200 federal and support contractor employees
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 PMCProject Manager • Projects awarded by PMCProcurement to Recipients, e.g., State Energy Office, Weatherization Office

NETL PMC “Project” Structure • Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) • State Energy Program (SEP) * Acting
Activities Not Changing • Continue to interface with DOE Feds • Formula Grant Awards • Processing of Applications • Reporting of Information (WinSAGA) • Payment of Funds • Telephone/E-mail Access • Monitoring Visits • Technical Assistance
Activities Changing • Losing “local” access to Regional Office staff • Face-to-face communications limited by travel funds • Anticipate more telecommunications • May deal with two DOE Contracting Offices • Former “Regional” State groupings, i.e., future States activities may be defined by other factors, e.g., climatic, technology, end-use sector

PMC Split All Regional Office activity will be split between two EERE Project Management Center Offices (GO & NETL): • Formula Awards (SEP and WAP): • All Procurement to NETL • Project Management split between NETL and GO • Discretionary/Competitive Awards: • Will be split between GO and NETL based on Program • Omnibus Awards: • For former Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and Southeast states, NETL will hold the Umbrella Award Agreement • For former Western, Central and Midwest states, GO will hold the Umbrella Award Agreement • Sub-awards will be managed by the PMC (NETL or Golden) based on program funding/technology
Other Stuff • FY2006 SEP “Special Projects” issued as stand-alone Program announcements, • Solicitations Issued: Mid to Late March • Applications Due: May 24th for BT, May 31st for ITP, and early June for Clean Cities Transportation Sector • Awards: September • grants.gov mandatory for application submittal in FY2007 • Listing of EERE Project Management Center points of contact will be distributed using various forms of communication (website, e-mail, newsletter, etc.)
