GENERATING CARBON POLLUTION-FREE ELECTRICITY ON THE HANFORD SITE - REQUEST FOR INFORMATION

August 29, 2023 - The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is issuing this Request for Information (RFI) to identify potentially capable parties having an interest in leasing land from the federal government to develop utility-scale carbon pollution-free electricity (CFE) projects. The federal land that may be considered for leasing is located on the Hanford Site, lying directly north of the city limits of the city of Richland, Washington (see attached RFI with attached map, Potentially Available Lands for Lease). DOE is planning a Cleanup to Clean Energy Information Day in Richland, Washington, on September 22, 2023, for interested parties to ask questions and have an opportunity to see the land identified for potential CFE production. Registration is available at https://www.energy.gov/em/events/hanford-cleanup-clean-energy-information-day.
