A coalition of companies and organizations calls on President Biden to implement round-the-clock, time- and location-based clean energy procurement for federal facilities to drive investment in new carbon-free resources and ensure environmental justice.

• The coalition advocates for "higher-impact carbon-free electricity procurement," which prioritizes purchasing new clean resources to ensure a round-the-clock supply that decarbonizes electricity use in every hour and on every regional grid where consumption occurs.
• Higher-impact procurement is presented as superior to traditional approaches, which often rely on renewable energy projects located far from the point of consumption and whose generation does not align with the time of use.
• The proposed procurement strategy is expected to reduce reliance on fossil fuels during periods of low variable renewable generation and stimulate the deployment of a diverse portfolio of technologies, including energy storage and dispatchable carbon-free resources.
• The coalition argues that regional clean electricity procurement can advance environmental justice by reducing pollution in disadvantaged communities that have been historically marginalized and overburdened.
• The coalition recommends a strategy that directs agencies to set targets for 100% carbon-free electricity consumption on an hourly basis, establishes interim targets, allows for phased-in implementation, and requires annual progress reporting.
