All executive orders
The Secretary of War, in coordination with the Secretary of Energy, is directed to procure power from the United States coal generation fleet. This will be done by approving long-term Power Purchase Agreements or similar contracts with coal-fired facilities to serve Department of War installations and other mission-critical facilities. Priority for these agreements is given to projects that enhance grid reliability, on-site fuel security, and mission assurance for defense and intelligence capabilities. The Department of War (DOW) is directed to shift its energy procurement towards coal-fired power for its facilities and will bear the costs for the order's publication. The Secretary of Energy will coordinate with the DOW on these procurement efforts. The U.S. coal generation fleet and facilities may receive long-term power purchase agreements from the federal government. Military installations, command centers, and defense-industrial bases are intended to benefit from enhanced power reliability and resilience provided by coal-based energy assets.
