The Department of Energy has completed an overhaul of its web site that offers consumers and businesses better access to money- and energy-saving information and resources and department officials.
The redesign makes Energy.gov a cutting-edge, interactive information platform that will save taxpayers more than $10 million annually, according to a department statement released today.
"Our goal is to make Energy.gov easier to use, more transparent and more participatory," said Secretary of Energy Steven Chu.
"This next phase is part of our ongoing commitment to empower consumers and businesses with the information, tools and services they need to save money, create jobs and find opportunities in the new energy economy."

New features include updated and interactive charts and maps that make it easier for visitors to get localized information on tax credits, rebates, energy saving tips and grant opportunities.
Over the next year, the department said it will continue to improve Energy.gov by moving more program websites and features to the centralized platform.
The Energy.gov project is part of the Obama Administration's Campaign to Cut Waste, a dedicated effort across the federal government to streamline operations, end unnecessary spending and save taxpayers money.

The new site was built using Drupal, an open source content management system and has transitioned to cloud-hosted infrastructure. These changes provide the necessary channel for innovative, efficient online engagement while saving money and lowering the costs of future improvements."Our goal is to make Energy.gov easier to use, more transparent and more participatory." - Secretary of Energy Steven Chu.
