decarbonization, defense against cyber-security attacks, and critical infrastructure maintenance, and are not positioned to respond to the demands of U.S. Traditional industrial efforts are insufficient to meet the unprecedented growth in electrification necessary to support U.S. is highly reliant on foreign-sourced critical electric grid components.
However, domestic solar PV production does not meet current demand. electricity generation capacity and the cheapest new electricity source in many regions of the country.

Technologies Included in the President’s DPA AnnouncementĭPA authority, with the necessary funding appropriated by Congress, will allow the federal government to invest in companies that can build clean energy facilities, expand clean energy manufacturing, process clean energy components, and install clean energy technologies for consumers. In addition, the Department encourages use of the tools unlocked by the DPA to support low-income communities who have been hard-hit with pollution. In using the DPA to support clean energy manufacturing, the Department will encourage recipients of federal support to use strong labor standards, including project labor agreements and community benefits agreements that include local hire provisions. These technologies, products, and component materials will be made in America, creating more good-paying union jobs. national and climate security while reducing energy costs for American families. clean energy manufacturing and supply chains. With today’s DPA actions, the Biden-Harris Administration is taking bold action to support U.S. We must harness the United States’s untapped potential to support greater domestic production for domestic use and export. expands new manufacturing, processing, and installation capacity, we will be forced to continue to rely on clean energy imports-exposing the nation to supply chain vulnerabilities, while simultaneously missing out on the enormous job opportunities associated with the energy transition. As the world transitions to a clean energy economy, global demand for these essential products and components is set to skyrocket by 400-600% over the next several decades. They will also help accelerate DoD’s transition toward clean energy technologies that can help strengthen military capability while creating good jobs for American workers.”ĭemand for clean energy technologies such as solar panels, heat pumps, and electrolyzers for hydrogen has increased significantly as the costs of these technologies have plummeted over the last decade. The actions President Biden announced today will help strengthen our supply chains and ensure that the United States is a leader in producing the energy technologies that are essential to our future success. “In conflict, fossil fuel supply lines are especially vulnerable. national security,” said Deputy Secretary of Defense Dr. “Reducing America’s dependence on gas and oil is critical to U.S. With the new DPA authority, DOE can help strengthen domestic solar, heat pump and grid manufacturing industries while fortifying America’s economic security and creating good-paying jobs, and lowering utility costs along the way.” “For too long the nation’s clean energy supply chain has been over-reliant on foreign sources and adversarial nations. can take ownership of its clean energy independence,” said U.S. “President Biden has invoked the Defense Production Act so that the U.S. The DPA determinations are part of the Biden-Harris Administration’s plan to lower energy costs for families, strengthen national security, and achieve lasting American energy independence that reduces demand for fossil fuels and bolsters our clean energy economy. Department of Energy (DOE) with the authority to utilize the Defense Production Act (DPA) to accelerate domestic production of five key energy technologies: (1) solar (2) transformers and electric grid components (3) heat pumps (4) insulation and (5) electrolyzers, fuel cells, and platinum group metals.
WASHINGTON, D.C.- President Biden today issued presidential determinations providing the U.S. DPA Invocation Will Boost American Production of the Critical Technologies Necessary to Lower Energy Costs, Support the Clean Energy Economy, and Strengthen National Security.
