The Biden administration pushed out two high-profile funding awards for clean energy projects—both billion-dollar-plus—in its waning days before feared shifts in sector financial and policy support take shape under the Trump government after Jan. 20.
The U.S. General Services Administration said it awarded on Jan. 2 a two-part contract with nuclear energy developer Constellation New Energy Inc., a unit of Baltimore-based Constellation Energy Corp., for more than $1 billion of power supply and energy services over the next ten years for 13 federal agencies affecting 80 facilities. These are
located in the area served by PJM Interconnection, a regional
transmission operator that covers portions of eleven Mid-Atlantic
and Midwest states and Washington, D.C. The contract also includes power conservation and efficiency upgrades at five D.C.-area facilities.
