The Department of Energy informed staffers at multiple offices Friday that they’re likely to be fired or reassigned to another part of the department, federal employees told POLITICO’s E&E News.
Staffers at the Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations and the Office of State and Community Energy Programs received the notices, according to federal employees who were granted anonymity to share sensitive personnel information.
“SCEP will be undergoing a major reorganization and your position may be reassigned to another organization, transferred to another function, or abolished,” a notice sent to a SCEP staffer said. “While no determination has been made concerning your specific position, it is likely that your position will be significantly impacted when these programs, projects or activities cease.”
The notice, which was reviewed by E&E News, said that SCEP “contains programs, projects or activities that are inconsistent with the administration’s priorities.”
