What it does
The Co-Location Energy Act would authorize the Secretary of the Interior to permit the evaluation and development of solar or wind energy projects on existing federal energy leases for oil, gas, coal, or geothermal resources, provided the leaseholder consents. It applies to leases issued under the Mineral Leasing Act or the Geothermal Steam Act of 1970 on land managed by the Secretary of the Interior. The bill also requires the Secretary to assess whether such renewable energy activities qualify for categorical exclusions under the National Environmental Policy Act and to issue implementing rules within 180 days of enactment.
