Critical Dependencies
The federal department responsible for U.S. energy policy, nuclear security, and national grid/energy-storage funding programs. Through its Loan Programs Office (LPO) and Grid Resilience and Innovation Partnerships (GRIP) program, DOE is the single largest source of federal capital behind the long-duration and grid-scale energy storage buildout that underpins the AI-data-center power story already dense in the graph. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) was established as an independent regulatory agency within DOE by the Department of Energy Organization Act of 1977, though FERC's adjudicative decisions remain independent of DOE direction.
