H.R.1687

Committing Leases for Energy Access Now Act CLEAN Act

Chamber Passed·6/3/26

The CLEAN Act amends the Geothermal Steam Act of 1970 to increase lease sale frequency and require replacement sales.

The CLEAN Act amends the Geothermal Steam Act of 1970 to increase the frequency of geothermal lease sales from every two years to annually. It also mandates that if a lease sale is canceled or delayed, the Secretary of the Interior must conduct a replacement sale within the same year. Additionally, the Act requires the Secretary to issue a final decision on a geothermal drilling permit application within 30 days of notifying the applicant that the application is complete. These changes aim to streamline the geothermal energy development process.
