What it does
The Green Energy for Federal Buildings Act would amend the Energy Policy Act of 2005 to require the federal government to use increasing percentages of renewable energy in its buildings, reaching 100 percent by fiscal year 2050. It sets interim targets of at least 35 percent renewable energy use from 2030 to 2039 and 75 percent from 2040 to 2049, building on the existing 7.5 percent requirement for 2013–2019. The bill applies to federal facilities and directs the Secretary of Energy to prioritize on-site, federal land, or Indian land–produced renewable energy when economically and technically feasible. It affects federal agencies responsible for managing government buildings and energy procurement.
