Summary
Introduced in House · Updated 7 mai 2026
Committing Leases for Energy Access Now Act or the CLEAN Act
This bill directs the Department of the Interior to increase the frequency of lease sales for developing and utilizing geothermal energy on federal land.
Specifically, Interior must hold lease sales at least once a year (rather than two years) in states with pending nominations of federal land to be leased for geothermal energy development.
In conducting such lease sales, Interior must offer all of the pending nominated parcels eligible for geothermal development and utilization under the resource management plan in effect for the state.
If a lease sale is canceled or delayed, Interior must conduct a replacement sale during the same year.
Finally, the bill establishes deadlines for Interior to respond to applications for geothermal drilling permits.
