A veteran of the first Trump administration who led an industry group focused on carbon capture and utilization is taking on a new role as a senior policy adviser to Energy Secretary Chris Wright.
Steven Winberg, who worked at DOE during President Donald Trump’s first term, left his position as acting undersecretary for infrastructure Monday, a role he filled in an acting capacity for the first 90 days of the new administration.
A DOE spokesperson said in a statement that Michael Goff, who is serving in the agency’s Office of Nuclear Energy, will step into the infrastructure role in an acting capacity.
“Goff will take on this temporary position in addition to his role in the Office of Nuclear Energy,” the spokesperson said.
