The Energy Department offices impacted by Trump administration layoffs include those focused on climate-friendly energy sources amid the administration’s broader crackdown on renewables.
Late last week, the Trump administration fired about 4,000 workers across various government agencies, including about 187 at the Energy Department.
A spokesperson for the department told The Hill this week that the offices that have been impacted are the offices of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Clean Energy Demonstrations, State and Community Energy Programs and Minority Economic Impact.
It’s not clear how many people were fired from each office.
The spokesperson said that these offices “played a major role in the Biden administration’s war on American Energy” and “oversaw billions of dollars in wasteful spending and massive regulatory overreach.”
The offices are being “realigned” to reflect Trump administration priorities, the spokesperson said, but did not detail what exactly this realignment would entail, if anything, beyond the layoffs.
The offices that were impacted by the layoffs appear to align with the Trump administration’s broader goals of hampering renewable energy, support for states and reducing initiatives aimed at helping minority groups.
The more than 4,000 federal worker layoffs came after threats from the Trump administration to fire staffers if Democrats did not agree to reopen the government. They also come as the administration has sought to shrink the size of the government in general through layoffs and buyouts.
