ENERGY from page 54
The new bill extends an existing DOE program providing incentives for improvements to hydro facilities that increase their efficiency by at least 3 percent.
Incentives for improvements to existing hydroelectric facilities that would support capital improvements also are included.
Programs designed to reduce the economic effects of shuttered and abandoned fossil fuel facilities are a part of the IIJA. One specifically targets demonstration projects for construction of renewable energy facilities on abandoned mine sites.
In addition to expanded energy construction included in the IIJA, President Biden’s proposed federal tax credits extension in the Build Back Better bill and national and corporate efforts to meet EU emissions targets are factors in the IEA forecast revision.
The law firm of McDermott Will & Emery (MWE) noted that with the federal government’s procurement power the executive order to meet the 2050 carbon-neutral target could “transform clean energy markets while achieving ambitious climate goals.”
Those goals include 100 percent carbon pollution-free electricity by 2030; zero-emission vehicle acquisitions by 2035; net zero emissions from federal procurement no later than 2050; and a similar building portfolio by 2045.
“The executive order and the administration’s procurement plans are a potential bonanza for clean energy and electric vehicle companies,” said MWE. “The federal government buys $650 billion in goods and services annually in addition to a real estate portfolio of more than 300,000 buildings and a fleet of more than 600,000 cars and trucks.”
To achieve the 100-percent carbon pollution-free electricity goal, MWE said the federal government will buy power directly from utilities, enter into power purchase agreements with generators and develop onsite generation on federal real property.
The executive order directs that at least 50 percent of that power must come from locally sourced 24/7 carbon pollu-
tion-free electricity. The sourced electricity must match actual consumption on an hourly basis and be produced within the same regional grid where the energy is consumed. “The McDermott energy team has seen such calls for around-the-clock clean power supply grow in recent years — particularly from large corporate energy buyers — including a number of leading technology companies. Those same technology companies have urged the federal government to procure clean energy on a 24/7 basis,” said the law firm. Though a boost in construction work natural follows all of this policy implementation, it comes Both the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and the Build Back America legislation are a double shot in the arm for the energy construction sector. with business operations challenges for construction contractors. According to MWE, the fed will expand its consideration of embodied emissions in construction materials and launch a Buy Clean policy for acquisition of materials with lower embodied emissions. The federal government also will require its major contractors to publicly report their greenhouse gas emissions, plans to reduce emissions and risks faced by climate change, said MWE. “Based on the prior experience of McDermott’s Energy and Project Finance Practice Group … the executive order and subsequent implementation could be transformative for the industry,” MWE said of the energy sector. “The federal government is the largest landowner and energy consumer in the United States.” CEG

“Supply chain issues continue to disrupt the equipment market, resulting in volume declines and older assets with higher usage coming to market in 2021,” said Doug Olive, senior vice president (Pricing), Ritchie Bros.
Doug Rusch, managing director of Rouse Sales, added, “We continue to observe strong used equipment prices, with retail values rising a further 2 percent in October. Coinciding with this rise, we are also seeing a lingering slowdown in transaction volumes, as ongoing supply chain issues continue to drive cautious fleet management decisions. Retail values now stand 14 percent higher than in January 2021.”
