This annual status report (pdf 214 KB) is prepared in response to Senate Report 106-395 on the fiscal year 2001 Energy and Water Development Appropriations Bill. The report language requested that an interagency working group be created to facilitate private sector efforts to launch clean-energy technologies into international markets by improving the government's role in clean-energy research, development, demonstration, and deployment (ERD3). The language calls for the establishment of an advisory panel of private-sector representatives, the preparation of an annual report to be submitted to Congress by March 1st and the completion of a 5-year strategic plan to be submitted by June 1, 2001. Technologies covered in the report language include end-use efficiency, fossil, renewable, and nuclear. The Departments of Energy (DOE) and Commerce (DOC) and the Agency for International Development (USAID) have begun implementation of the FY 2001 Senate Energy and Water Development Appropriations Bill report language on international Clean Energy Technology Exports (CETE). Current progress and anticipated activities for the CETE initiative are described in the report.

This status report is divided in two sections with appendices. The first section describes current progress with regard to the Senate Report requirements. The second section is organized on an agency-by-agency basis to describe baseline data of current efforts to facilitate clean-energy technology exports.
