Affordable, Reliable, Clean Energy Security Act of 2025

This bill sets federal definitions for "affordable," "reliable," and "clean" energy. It defines clean energy to include renewable sources, nuclear power, and burning hydrocarbons such as natural gas in line with federal air quality standards. It defines reliable energy as a source with an Effective Load Carrying Capability of 60 percent or more that is not subject to intermittent availability or routine weather impacts. The Department of Energy, the Department of the Interior, and the Environmental Protection Agency would have to identify their related rules, grants, guidance, and policies, update them to use these definitions, and report to Congress and publish the reports online.
