Target: U.S. Department of Energy Secretary and Federal Policymakers
Goal: Urge the Department of Energy to rescind the 10% cap on indirect and fringe cost reimbursements, ensuring states and municipalities can continue vital clean energy initiatives.
The Department of Energy (DOE) has implemented a new policy that caps federal reimbursements for indirect and fringe costs at just 10% of the total project award amount. These costs cover basic administrative expenses and employee benefits that are crucial for running federally funded clean energy and modernization programs.
This policy threatens the ability of states and municipalities to deliver key services that support energy security, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, lower energy costs, and advance the transition to renewable energy sources. By restricting reimbursement, the DOE is undermining the effectiveness of programs that benefit millions of Americans and help address the climate crisis.
We stand with the coalition of 19 states and the District of Columbia in urging the DOE to reverse this harmful policy. Our communities deserve robust support for clean energy initiatives, not bureaucratic barriers that slow progress and increase costs for consumers.
Key Demands
- Rescind the Department of Energy's 10% cap on indirect and fringe cost reimbursements for federally funded energy programs.
- Ensure full and fair reimbursement for administrative and staffing costs necessary to operate clean energy and modernization projects.
- Protect state and local governments' ability to implement renewable energy initiatives without undue financial constraints.
- Engage with states, municipalities, and stakeholders to develop equitable funding policies that support the clean energy transition.
