Requires the federal government to substantially increase the share of electricity it gets from renewable sources over time — 35% in the 2030s, 75% in the 2040s, and 100% by 2050 — and directs agencies to prioritize renewable generation located on federal facilities, federal land, or Indian land when doing so is economically feasible and technically practicable. It updates an existing federal renewable procurement requirement and adds a feasibility priority for on-site or on‑land generation.
The bill pushes federal facilities toward cleaner electricity and local clean‑energy jobs but shifts costs and operational hurdles onto taxpayers, agencies, and tribal permitting processes.
Federal agencies, taxpayers, and nearby communities will see federal operations and facilities shift to more renewable electricity, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and local air pollution.
Energy companies and rural communities will get increased demand for on-site and on‑land renewable projects from federal and Indian lands, creating construction and operations work and potential local jobs.
Federal planners, contractors, and agencies will gain long-term policy certainty (100% clean electricity by 2050), making it easier to plan and invest in clean energy supply and federal facility upgrades.
Taxpayers and federal budgets could face higher upfront costs because implementing on-site renewable generation may require additional spending by agencies.
Federal agencies and local governments may encounter impractical requirements (space, grid constraints) for on-site or on‑land generation, creating compliance challenges and administrative burden.
Tribal communities and federal project teams may experience slower deployment and complex processes because prioritizing projects on Indian land can trigger additional permitting, land‑use, and consultation requirements.
