Green Energy for Federal Buildings Act

House Votes

This bill would require the federal government to run its buildings and facilities on more and more renewable energy over time, reaching 100% by 2050. It updates existing law to set clear targets: at least 35% renewable power in the 2030s, 75% in the 2040s, and 100% starting in 2050. When possible and practical, the government should use renewable energy made on-site, on federal land, or on Indian land.

Key points:

• Who is affected: Federal buildings and facilities, managed by the federal government.
• What changes: Gradual increase in renewable energy use—35% (2030–2039), 75% (2040–2049), and 100% from 2050 onward; preference for energy made on-site, on federal lands, or on Indian land when feasible.
• When: Targets apply by decade starting in 2030, with full renewable energy use beginning in 2050.
