to present the United States (U.S.) Department of Energy’s (DOE or Department) Fiscal Year (FY) 2015 Agency Financial Report. It provides key financial and performance information that demonstrates our commitment to enhance America’s security and economic growth through transformative science, technology innovation, and market solutions to meet our energy, nuclear security, and environmental challenges. Our Fiscal Year 2015 Annual Performance Report and Fiscal Year 2015 Summary of Performance and Financial Information will be released as a complement to this report in February 2016. Our Strategic Plan provides a roadmap for our work through three broad strategic goals in Science and Energy, Nuclear Security, and Management and Performance. Progress was made in achieving each of these goals in FY 2015 through continued investments in scientific research, renewable energy, energy efficiency, nuclear security, and environmental cleanup. For example, DOE supported the interagency task force that released the Administration’s Quadrennial Energy Review (QER) in April 2015, a key milestone in the implementation of the President’s Climate Action Plan. The QER is a policy roadmap for meeting key energy objectives: enhancing energy infrastructure resilience, reliability, safety and security; modernizing the electric grid and our energy security infrastructures; and improving railways, waterways, ports and roads that move both energy and other commodities. In September 2015, DOE released its second Quadrennial Technology Review which highlights the potential for additional future technology breakthroughs to mitigate the risks of climate change, modernize energy infrastructure, and enhance energy security. In FY 2015, the Department achieved a number of important financial milestones in support of these strategic objectives. We obligated $1.7 billion in loan guarantees to three subsidiaries of the Municipal Electric Authority of Georgia to further support the construction of two advanced nuclear reactors at the Vogtle Project - the first new U.S. nuclear power reactors to be licensed in more than three decades. DOE also announced a $525 million project to establish the Collaboration of Oak Ridge, Argonne, and Lawrence Livermore to deliver computers five to seven times more powerful than the current top supercomputers. These new high performance computers will support
