Bureau of Energy Resources
- Geoffrey R. Pyatt, Assistant Secretary of State for Energy Resources
The Bureau of Energy Resources (ENR) is a bureau in the United States Department of State that coordinates the department's efforts in promoting international energy security.[2][3] Under the purview of the Under Secretary of State for Economic Growth, Energy, and the Environment.[4] the Bureau of Energy Resources' current head is Assistant Secretary Geoffrey R. Pyatt.
History
The Bureau of Energy Resources was established in October 2011, following a recommendation in the 2010 Quadrennial Diplomacy and Development Review calling on the department to create a bureau uniting diplomatic and programmatic efforts in the global production and use of energy.[1][5][6] The new bureau combined personnel and assets previously assigned to existing energy-related offices in the department, primarily from what is now the Bureau of Economic and Business Affairs.[1]
Organization
The bureau is headed by the Special Envoy and Coordinator for International Energy Affairs, who is appointed by the United States Secretary of State.[1] Four Deputy Assistant Secretaries also oversee different divisions of the bureau, namely Energy Diplomacy, Energy Transformation, Energy Governance and Access, and Bureau Implementation and Coordination.[7] Six unique offices exist within the bureau:
- Office of Europe, the Western Hemisphere, and Africa
- Office of the Middle East and Asia
- Office of Alternative and Renewable Energy
- Office of Electricity and Energy Efficiency
- Office of Policy Analysis and Public Diplomacy
- Office of Energy Programs
The bureau manages three foreign assistance programs with a total FY 2014 budget of $11.8 million in economic support funds. ENR relies heavily on interagency agreements with the Departments of Interior, Commerce, and Treasury, as well as on contracted private-sector firms, to implement technical assistance.[1]
