“The updated Western Solar Plan is a responsible, pragmatic strategy for developing solar energy on our nation’s public lands that supports national clean energy goals and long-term national energy security,” said BLM Director Tracy Stone-Manning.
What does the new Western Solar Plan mean for public lands?
“Simply put, the updated Western Solar Plan will create the foundation for solar development and conservation on public lands into the future.” Daniel-Davis and BLM Director Tracy Stone-Manning also announced during the call that several proposed large-scale solar energy projects had reached regulatory permitting milestones.
What will the proposed updated Western Solar Plan Do?
The proposed updated Western Solar Plan identifies areas for potential solar development on BLM-managed public lands across the West. It expands the planning area from the original six states (AZ, CA, CO, NV, NM, UT) to include five additional states (ID, MT, OR, WA, and WY).
How many acres of public lands are needed for Western Solar Plan?
