Keynote: Energy Challenges and Opportunities for U.S. Federal Agencies
summary
Federal civilian portfolio includes 350,000 buildings, 600,000 vehicles and a reported $15 billion annual energy spend (FY21) using roughly 852 trillion BTUs with most use in vehicles and equipment. Executive Order 14057 requires elimination of most agency greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and OMB maintains a scorecard to track progress. FEMP provides usable tools: a searchable map of carbon‑free electricity programs, the REopt techno‑economic web tool for on‑site renewables and storage, and an EV charging planning/cost tool, while energy‑savings performance contracting is poised to scale.
