Enhancing Geothermal Production on Federal Lands Act aims to expedite geothermal exploration on federal lands.
The Enhancing Geothermal Production on Federal Lands Act amends the Geothermal Steam Act of 1970 to facilitate quicker exploration for geothermal resources on federal lands. It mandates the Secretary of the Interior to designate geothermal leasing priority areas within three years of enactment. These areas will be reviewed every five years, with potential removal if deemed inappropriate. The Act also requires a programmatic environmental impact statement for these areas and mandates consultation with state, tribal, and local governments.
