The CLEAN Act amends the Geothermal Steam Act of 1970 to increase lease sale frequency and require replacement sales.
The CLEAN Act, or Committing Leases for Energy Access Now Act, modifies the Geothermal Steam Act of 1970 to enhance geothermal energy access. It mandates annual lease sales for geothermal resources, replacing the previous two-year cycle. Additionally, it requires the Secretary of the Interior to conduct replacement sales if a lease sale is canceled or delayed within the same year. The act also sets a 30-day deadline for the Secretary to issue a final decision on complete geothermal drilling permit applications.
