Join ECA's webinar on Tuesday, June 27 at 1:00pm EST to hear from experts on how DOE and other federal agencies can assist advanced reactor and other clean energy development by purchasing power from these projects through utilities and the developers, the lessons learned from years of federal power purchase projects, and what ideas exist to for federal agencies to be the catalyst for energy development through power purchases.
 

How will nuclear energy and renewable energies be purchased and used by DOE and other federal agencies? What strategies exist to help federal agencies to buy this clean or renewable power across the country?
 

Speakers include:

David Reeploeg (Moderator), Executive Director, Hanford Communities

Seth Kirshenberg, Executive Director, Energy Communities Alliance

Brian Oakley, Executive Vice President, Public Infrastructure, JLL
 

Congressional Research Service (CRS) identified, “Federal agency agreements to purchase power from advanced reactors could substantially improve the financial feasibility of such projects, both at the demonstration and commercialization stages. Such power purchase agreements (PPAs) would provide a projected revenue stream that could help advanced reactor projects obtain financing and potentially reduce their financing costs. Federal agencies could also offer above-market prices for the power to encourage commercialization of nuclear technologies, if authorized by Congress.”
