The bill directs the Comptroller General to study how federal agencies use renewable energy certificates. The study would examine whether demand for these certificates leads to new renewable energy projects, agencies’ past progress toward energy procurement goals, and how certificates compare with power purchase agreements and onsite renewable energy. It would also compare costs and risks of meeting existing energy requirements. The Comptroller General would report findings and recommendations to Congress.
The bill calls for a study and report. It does not itself change energy requirements for federal agencies or require them to use a particular energy source.
The text gives no cost for carrying out the study. No publicly available information on the study’s cost. The study would assess average agency costs tied to different ways of supporting renewable energy projects.
