**Moves federal energy purchases toward 100% renewable power by 2050.** This bill would create escalating, legally binding minimums for how much renewable energy the federal government must buy and require agencies to use renewable power when it is economically feasible and technically practicable. - Federal agencies would have set minimums to meet: 35% renewable purchases in fiscal years 2030–2039, 75% in 2040–2049, and 100% in fiscal year 2050 and each year after. - Renewable energy counted toward the targets must be produced on-site at a federal facility, on federal lands, or on Indian land when doing so is economically feasible and technically practicable. - The bill ties the definition of Indian land to the Energy Policy Act of 1992 (25 U.S.C. 3501), so production on tribal land can qualify under the federal targets.
