This bill directs the Comptroller General (the head of the Government Accountability Office) to study how federal agencies use renewable energy certificates to meet their clean energy goals. The study will examine whether these certificates actually drive new renewable energy projects, how well agencies complied with clean energy requirements before a recent executive order was revoked, and compare the costs and risks of using certificates versus other methods like power purchase agreements or building solar panels directly on federal property. The bill requires the Comptroller General to report findings and recommendations to Congress, but does not allocate specific funding amounts or establish a deadline for completion. The legislation aims to help policymakers understand whether federal investment in renewable energy certificates is an effective way to support the growth of clean energy infrastructure.
