The Department of Energy's flag is regulated by Title 10, Code of Regulations, Section 1002. It is white with the departmental seal, approximately 2/3 of the hoist in diameter. The seal shows a coat of arms on the center, green, bordered yellow with a lightning bolt bendwise sinister issuing from sinister chief between an atom, a sun, an oil well, a windmill, and a generator, all yellow. The crest is a white eagle's head erased.

The dimensions are 52 x 66 inches for indoor use (with yellow fringe, cord, and tassels), and 36 by 60 or 60 x 96 inches for outdoor hoisting.
