Restoring Renewable Energy Parity Act

Key Points

• The bill would cancel a trade investigation into imported wind turbine parts and repeal at least ten executive orders, secretarial orders, and agency guidance documents that have restricted or slowed wind, solar, and geothermal energy development since early 2025.
• It would lift the freeze on offshore wind leasing by nullifying a January 2025 presidential memorandum that withdrew all areas on the Outer Continental Shelf from offshore wind leases and halted permitting for wind projects.
• Federal agencies would be required to decide on continuation applications for multi-year clean energy funding within 60 days. If the agency misses the deadline, the funding is automatically approved.
• The bill blocks rescission of any appropriated funds for fiscal years 2026 or 2027 unless Congress itself authorizes the rescission through an appropriation act, protecting already-allocated clean energy budgets from executive clawbacks.
• The Secretary of Defense would be required to approve mitigation agreements for wind, solar, and transmission projects initiated before January 2026 within 30 days of enactment, removing a major bottleneck for projects near military installations.
• The bill prevents the executive branch from reissuing any of the repealed documents in substantially the same form unless specifically authorized by a future act of Congress, making the rollback durable.
