Abstract:

GAO was asked to (1) identify agencies renewable energy-related initiatives and (2) examine the federal roles agencies initiatives supported. GAO collected data from agencies budget documents, strategic plans, websites, and through agency data requests and interviews with officials from most of the 24 federal agencies subject to the Chief Financial Officers Act of 1990. These 24 agencies accounted for roughly 98 percent of all federal outlays in 2009. GAO developed an inventory of agencies renewable energy initiatives, including initiatives for which renewable energy was the focus, as well as initiatives for which it was part of a broader effort. GAO focused on developing this inventory, and as such, did note valuate initiatives based on financial support or other factors.
