State Policy · Renewable Energy Siting
Where Renewables Get Built
Starts in State Houses.
The Siting Solutions Project addresses energy siting and permitting barriers by providing expert policy analysis and insight to stakeholders and decisionmakers — identifying the policy solutions that maximize the benefits clean energy provides for communities, the environment, and the electric grid.
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.
