The Powering Productivity Act directs the Department of Energy to measure and improve how efficiently the United States uses energy to generate economic value. The bill requires the Secretary of Energy to establish a baseline assessment of national energy productivity within 18 months and produce comprehensive assessments every three years thereafter, evaluating how energy efficiency improvements could reduce costs, create jobs, and boost competitiveness in key industries like manufacturing. The legislation also mandates quarterly reports on energy productivity indicators aligned with labor productivity measures, and establishes an advisory task force of federal agencies, industry representatives, and academic experts to guide these efforts over a three-year period. The assessments must consider the full lifecycle impacts of energy production and use, including effects on water resources, public health, and supply chains. No specific funding amount is mentioned in the legislation.
