What this amendment would do

SA 3226, submitted by Mr. Barrasso, aims to change the Better Utilization of Investments Leading to Development Act of 2018 by adding a new section regarding power-generation projects in specific countries.

The purpose of this amendment is to:

  • Stop restrictions on the source of energy used by power-generation projects intended to provide affordable electricity in IDA-eligible or IDA-blend countries. This means the Corporation cannot use rules, policies, or guidelines to prohibit or restrict the energy source.

  • Limit the Board, preventing them from rejecting a power-generation project in these countries based on the energy source used.

  • Promote an "all-of-the-above" strategy for energy development in these countries. This strategy is fuel-neutral and technology-neutral, including sources such as:

    • Oil
    • Natural gas
    • Coal
    • Hydroelectric
    • Wind
    • Solar
    • Geothermal power and other energy sources.
