Referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
This bill amends Section 203 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 to set new Federal renewable energy procurement targets. It requires federal consumption of renewable energy to reach at least 35% in fiscal years 2030–2039, 75% in 2040–2049, and 100% in 2050 and thereafter.
Cost and feasibility: progressives see acceptable tradeoff; conservatives see high cost.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a straightforward statutory amendment that establishes explicit multi-stage renewable procurement targets for the Federal Government culminating in 100% renewable consumption by fiscal year 2050, and it modestly constrains eligible sources to on-site, Federal lands, or Indian land generation.

It adds a feasibility clause directing the Secretary to prioritize renewable energy produced on-site, on Federal lands, or on Indian land to the maximum extent economically feasible and technically practicable.
Low administrative complexity and phased approach help, but political disagreement over federal renewables mandates and Senate barriers lower prospects.

These are examples from the analysis, not a ranked list of the most-affected groups.
Cost and feasibility: progressives see acceptable tradeoff; conservatives see high cost.
Likely supportive because the bill sets a clear federal pathway to 100% renewable electricity by 2050.
Would welcome stronger federal leadership and long-term targets but may find the timeline and lack of funding or labor, justice provisions inadequate.
May press for earlier deadlines, worker transition protections, and stronger enforcement.
Generally favorable to modernizing federal energy procurement with a long-term, phased approach.
Will emphasize cost, reliability, and practical implementation details missing from the bill.
Likely to back the goals if accompanied by cost analyses, flexibility for grid reliability, and clear implementation guidance.
Likely opposed or skeptical due to federal mandate, potential costs, and impacts on energy reliability.
Prefers market-driven, technology-neutral approaches and state or agency discretion.
May argue the law expands federal reach without clear funding or national security safeguards.
