The House will vote on bipartisan legislation this week that would require additional reporting from a clean energy office established during the Biden administration.
H.R. 1453, the “Clean Energy Demonstration Transparency Act,” will come before lawmakers this week under suspension of the rules, a mechanism to fast-track noncontroversial legislation.
The bill, sponsored by Reps. Mike Carey (R-Ohio) and Josh Riley (D-N.Y.), requests semiannual reports from the Department of Energy’s Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations (OCED) on the status of their projects.
The office was established in 2021 to oversee over $25 billion in funding for major clean energy projects from the bipartisan infrastructure law and the Inflation Reduction Act. The measure passed the House once before in April 2024, but was not taken up by the Senate.
