GSA & DOD Seek Input on Upcoming Government Procurement of Carbon Pollution-Free Electricity

1 min read

The General Services Administration and the Department of Defense have jointly released a request for information that would help inform a procurement to be issued later this year for carbon pollution-free electricity, or CFE.

The GSA said Friday that the government seeks providers that could deliver an annual average of about 2.7 million megawatt hours of CFE to federal civilian and defense agencies located within the area where PJM Interconnection serves as regional transmission operator.

The GSA noted that the upcoming procurement “would be one of the federal government’s largest-ever clean electricity purchases.”

An Industry Day has been scheduled for Feb. 20 to provide interested parties within further information. The event will take place in Washington, D.C.

“We’re using the government’s buying power to spur demand for clean, carbon pollution-free electricity,” said GSA Administrator Robin Carnahan, who described the procurement as “a key milestone” in efforts to drive clean energy production and delivery.
