Bill > S4989

This bill, the DOD Energy Strategy Act of 2022, aims to amend the existing law (Title 10 of the United States Code) to include additional considerations for developing and implementing the energy performance goals and master plan of the Department of Defense (DOD). Specifically, it requires the DOD to consider the reliability and security of energy resources in the event of a military conflict, as well as the value of procuring energy from allies of the United States, particularly members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and other major U.S. allies. Additionally, the bill requires the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Energy, Installations, and Environment to submit a report on the feasibility and advisability of terminating energy procurement by the DOD from "foreign entities of concern," which refers to entities defined as such under the William M. (Mac) Thornberry National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021.
