Co-Location Energy Act: Easier Renewable Energy Development on Existing Leases

This act aims to simplify the construction of solar and wind power facilities on areas already leased for oil, gas, coal, or geothermal energy extraction. This allows companies to more efficiently use existing land, potentially accelerating clean energy development in the U.S. Citizens may benefit from increased availability of renewable energy and potentially more stable energy prices in the future.
Key points
Allows solar and wind power facilities on land already leased for fossil fuels and geothermal energy.
Requires consent from the current leaseholder for new renewable projects.
Aims to expedite environmental impact assessments for certain renewable projects.
