AI Summary
This bill tells the Comptroller General to study how federal agencies use renewable energy certificates (RECs) and how that affects clean energy progress and costs. The study must look at whether demand for RECs leads to new renewable power being built, how agencies were progressing under a now‑revoked clean energy executive order, and how RECs compare with power purchase agreements and onsite renewables, including costs and the risk of not meeting legal requirements. After the study, a report with findings and recommendations must be sent to Congress.
Key points:
- Who is affected: Federal agencies; Congress receives the report.
- What changes: Requires a government study of REC use, its impact on new renewable projects, agency progress, compliance options, costs, and risks.
- When: After this becomes law, a report is required; the bill does not set a specific deadline for the report.
