Biden Signs Order to Accelerate Data Center Construction

News summary

In a recent confirmation hearing, U.S. Interior Secretary nominee Doug Burgum emphasized the urgent need for permitting reform to accelerate energy projects and stabilize the electricity grid. Concurrently, the Biden administration is finalizing significant loans for electric vehicle and hydrogen companies, including Rivian and Plug Power, as part of a broader green energy initiative, despite potential challenges from the incoming Trump administration. President Biden also signed an executive order to open federal land for data centers, mandating that these facilities must match their electricity needs with clean energy sources. This order aims to support the growing demand for data centers driven by artificial intelligence, while also fortifying Biden's legacy on low-carbon energy. The administration plans to expedite the construction and permitting processes for energy infrastructure, enhancing interconnections to the electric grid. As part of these initiatives, the Department of Energy and Department of Defense will prioritize support for clean energy resources and timely project approvals.
