To promote the development of renewable energy on public land, and for other purposes.
HR 2301 sets new national goals for renewable energy production on Federal land, increasing the target from 25% to 60% by 2030. The bill establishes "priority areas" for wind, solar, and geothermal projects on public land and streamlines permitting by allowing delegation to State Renewable Energy Coordination Offices. It creates a revenue-sharing system where 25% of project revenues go to the state, 25% to counties, and 35% (increasing to 40% after 2045) to a Renewable Energy Resource Conservation Fund that supports habitat restoration and recreational access. The bill affects renewable energy developers, Federal land managers, states, counties, and communities near renewable energy projects, while requiring updates to environmental impact statements and balancing development with conservation of wildlife, cultural resources, and other land uses.
