HR 7606 United States House · 119th Congress

Powering Productivity Act

This bill requires the U.S. government to modernize how it measures energy productivity - the efficiency of using energy to create economic value. It mandates a national baseline assessment within 18 months, quarterly "Energy Productivity-IQ" reports tracking energy use against economic output (aligned with existing labor productivity data), and triennial assessments analyzing impacts on competitiveness, environmental health, and economic well-being. The bill also establishes a 3-year Energy Productivity Task Force with federal agencies and external experts to advise on these metrics. These requirements directly affect federal agencies like the Department of Energy and Energy Information Administration, providing standardized data for public and policy decision-making.
