Power of the Purse: USG Procurement Moves Markets

December 4, 2024 @ 3:00 pm - 3:50 pm

Circuits | Day 1 - Staking Stock of America's Clean Energy Industrial Strategy (Part I)

The Federal Government is working to modernize and protect its critical infrastructure—including 350,000 buildings and 600,000 vehicles—while leveraging its annual purchasing power of $630 billion to support cost-effective efficiencies in Federal operations. These efforts aim to enhance resilience while reducing emissions across Federal facilities and helping to improve the efficiency and security of Federal missions over the long term.

To support this modernization, Federal projects are increasingly adopting advanced technologies and efficient practices to improve facility performance. Procurement standards prioritize high-quality, American-made materials, aligning Federal investments with long-term durability and resilience goals. Together, these efforts encourage growth in U.S. energy and technology sectors, enhancing the security and productivity of Federal assets.

Join CEQ, DOE, and industry leaders in this session to discuss:

  • How can U.S. energy and technology industries partner with the Federal Government to strengthen missions while creating business growth opportunities?
  • What new pathways in procurement and asset management can help achieve efficiency and resilience goals while supporting market innovation?
  • What energy and cost savings strategies are Federal agencies and industry prioritizing to save taxpayer dollars?
