Register Today! The Importance of Power Purchase Agreements in an All of the Above Energy Strategy |
|
|
Power purchase agreements play a key role in clean energy development, including new nuclear development. Federal agencies such as DOE, DOD and GSA can assist the emergence of new technologies such as advanced reactors and existing technologies such as wind, power
and geothermal development by purchasing the power as the federal government is largest purchaser of power in the United States. A key for federal agencies includes the legal authority, the process and the political will to support these power purchases.
Join ECA's free webinar 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.

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.”
Speakers will be announced in the coming weeks. Zoom information will be
provided before the event.

DISPOSAL DRIVES CLEANUP: RE-ENERGIZING MOMENTUM FOR DISPOSAL SOLUTIONS FOR RADIOACTIVE WASTE
This report calls on the Department of Energy to launch the
initiative to develop the actual waste disposition approaches. The Department could potentially save hundreds of billions of dollars in cleanup costs by using its available tools and implementing the report’s recommendations.
Interactive guide for communities and governments to help navigate nuclear waste cleanup The Energy Communities Alliance (ECA) recently released the Guide to Successful Environmental Cleanup, an interactive online resource that provides frequently asked questions, case studies, and recommendations regarding nuclear waste cleanup. To assist local government officials, their communities, and federal agencies in deciphering the
complexities of the environmental cleanup process, ECA developed this guide to facilitate future successful cleanups. |
