The Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations, or OCED (pronounced “oh-sed”) is a new office within the Department of Energy created by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL).
Anyone curious about the Department of Energy (DOE) might enjoy this organization chart, which shows that OCED falls under the purview of the new Undersecretary for Infrastructure. The reorganization, announced in February, is in the response to the influx of funding for the DOE in BIL and a recognition of the crucial role the agency will play in the transition to cleaner energy. Specifically, the reorganization separated offices working in infrastructure with offices focused on innovation.
