DOE Funds Lithium-Battery Workforce


Based in Dallas, EagleRidge Energy is an oil and gas exploration company operating more than 2,300 wells across over 330,000 acres of land. As a key player in the energy industry, EagleRidge Energy must adhere to the rules and regulations set forth by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), among other agencies.

The U.S. Department of Energy is a government agency responsible for advancing the environmental, energy, and nuclear security of the United States. It supports and promotes research, development, and deployment of clean energy and efficient technologies. In partnership with the U.S. Department of Labor and the AFL-CIO, DOE announced the launch of a national workforce initiative to bolster the manufacture of lithium batteries.

DOE is investing $5 million to facilitate five pilot training programs to develop national credentials and expertise in battery manufacturing. The initiative is a crucial component of President Biden’s Interagency Working Group on Coal and Power Plant Communities and Economic Revitalization, supporting communities that rely on fossil fuel production. It will also benefit companies that manufacture electric vehicles and consumer electronics.
