CLEAN Energy Act

S 3025 (CLEAN Energy Act) removes federal restrictions on leasing public lands for onshore wind and solar energy projects. It amends the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 to eliminate limitations on issuing leases or rights-of-way for these renewable energy developments on federal land. This directly affects renewable energy developers, land managers, and communities where such projects might be sited. The bill makes a specific technical change to existing law without creating new funding or regulatory requirements.
