Policy
Development of transmission lines, wind, and solar energy has the potential to be a huge economic opportunity for rural communities in Iowa. With the implementation of any new infrastructure, residents need to know their rights and how to negotiate benefits to receive the best, most cost effective outcomes of the proposed projects.
Information outlined is from a survey administered by the Center for Rural Affairs. More detailed survey results can be found in the Center’s report, “Powering Iowa: Rural Perspectives on Iowa’s Renewable Energy Transformation.”
