Section 203 of the E.O. directs each agency to increase its percentage use of carbon pollution-free electricity (CFE), so that it constitutes 100 percent of facility electrical energy use by fiscal year 2030, with 50 percent procured to match actual electricity consumption on an hourly basis and produced within the same regional grid where the electricity is consumed or "24/7" CFE. In addition, section 203 requires agencies to maximize opportunities to facilitate new CFE generation and storage capacity deployment.
Each agency shall increase its percentage use of carbon pollution-free electricity, so that it constitutes 100 percent of facility electrical energy use on an annual basis, and seek to match use on an hourly basis to achieve 50 percent 24/7 carbon pollution-free electricity, by fiscal year 2030. In addition, agencies shall facilitate new carbon pollution-free electricity generation and energy storage capacity by authorizing use of their real property assets, such as rooftops, parking structures, and adjoining land, for the development of new carbon pollution-free electricity generation and energy storage through leases, grants, permits, or other mechanisms, to the extent permitted by law.
