Powering Productivity Act

This bill would require the Secretary of Energy to publish, within 18 months, a national baseline assessment of energy productivity, meaning how much economic value is produced for the energy used. After that, the Energy Information Administration would publish a quarterly report on energy productivity using the same economic output measures as the Bureau of Labor Statistics' labor productivity reports. The Secretary of Energy would also produce an assessment every three years on the economic, environmental, health, and competitiveness effects of faster energy productivity gains. The bill would create an Energy Productivity Task Force of federal agencies and outside experts within 180 days, which would end after 3 years.
