PowerPedia is solely for authorized internal use by Department of Energy employees and contractors working at DOE headquarters and field sites.

Powerpedia is a non-public, employee created encyclopedia of information about the Department. It uses the same technology that powers Wikipedia (Mediawiki) and can be accessed and edited by any DOE employee or contractor. Powerpedia's mission is to help employees share information on topics while improving communication and coordination between DOE organizations.

As of June 2011, the DOE Enterprise can access Powerpedia, create accounts, and contribute content. This includes the National Laboratories. It is only accessible to DOE personnel (employee or contractor) at headquarters and the field sites. External networks will not be able to access the site unless they are using CITRIX.
