The Restoring Renewable Energy Parity Act would block and repeal multiple executive orders and agency directives that have restricted wind, solar, and geothermal energy development. Specifically, the bill would halt a Commerce Department investigation into wind turbine imports, prevent the Health and Human Services Department from hindering renewable energy projects, and nullify nine executive documents and agency orders issued since January 2025 that the bill characterizes as obstacles to renewable energy. The legislation affects renewable energy developers, federal agencies including the Departments of Interior, Agriculture, and Defense, and the Internal Revenue Service. The bill includes provisions requiring the Defense Secretary to approve wind and solar mitigation agreements within 30 days, mandating federal agencies to decide on continuation funding applications within 60 days, and preventing budget rescissions related to renewable energy funding for fiscal years 2026 and 2027. Additionally, it prohibits the Fish and Wildlife Service from blocking renewable energy projects from using its permitting portal.
