Streamlining Thermal Energy through Advanced Mechanisms Act expedites geothermal exploration and development in previously studied or developed areas.

The Streamlining Thermal Energy through Advanced Mechanisms Act, also known as the STEAM Act, amends the Energy Policy Act of 2005 to expedite geothermal exploration and development in areas that have already been studied or developed. This bill aims to streamline the process for geothermal energy projects by modifying the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) review requirements. The changes include inserting geothermal energy into relevant sections of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, thereby reducing the regulatory burden for geothermal projects in previously assessed areas.
