Plain-English Summary

The legislation aims to encourage the development and use of geothermal energy—heat from within the Earth used to generate electricity and heating—in Pacific island nations and territories. This would help these communities reduce their dependence on imported fossil fuels, lower energy costs, and create jobs in renewable energy sectors. The bill affects Pacific island residents, energy companies, and U.S. interests in the region by potentially providing technical support and resources for geothermal projects.
