Renewable Energy Siting policy field guide

The Renewable Energy Siting Policy Field Guide equips state leaders and advocates with a practical framework to design renewable energy reforms that work—for communities, stakeholders, and the planet.

America’s clean energy future is at a crossroads. With surging electricity demand fueled by AI, booming manufacturing, and rising utility bills, the cheapest electricity resources—wind, solar, and storage—are stuck in slow permitting or blocked by restrictive local rules.

Reforming how we site renewable energy is the single biggest opportunity to speed up clean energy deployment, cut costs, and power communities across the country.

State-level reforms hold the key to America’s clean energy future. By adopting proven models and smart policies, states can unlock renewable energy potential, meet soaring energy demand, and build reforms that last. With the new Siting Policy Field Guide as a roadmap, advocates can lead resilient coalitions and turn policy into action.
