Officials tasked with creating or updating renewable energy ordinances are often inundated with siting resources as they seek out information. 

The standards below are a summary of our existing siting recommendations and more in-depth resources to be used as a short, easy-to-read fact sheet. The standards presented are informed by our research on specific ordinance topics, which include consulting industry experts and distilling trusted resources. We also created and analyzed a database of every ordinance from Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, and South Dakota to find industry standards. 

This document is a culmination of years of work, all of which can be found in our clean energy libraries (Siting Library and Model Clean Energy Ordinances).
