The General Services Administration and the Defense Department are seeking information on how to supply the federal government with pollution-free electricity as part of the Biden administration’s efforts to decarbonize the power sector by 2035.
A joint request for information released this week indicated the federal government’s two major suppliers for electricity were moving forward with objectives outlined in President Joe Biden’s executive order, titled “Catalyzing Clean Energy Industries and Jobs Through Federal Sustainability,” which sets the target dates of 2035 and 2050 for a carbon pollution-free electricity sector and economy-wide net zero emissions, respectively.
