New report and interactive map provide a detailed look at the diversity of renewable energy siting and permitting regulations and processes across the United States, profiling all 50
State Solar Carve-Out ProgramsSolar Interconnection Standards & PoliciesUnderstanding Electricity Market Frameworks & PoliciesInterconnection standards define how a distributed generation system, such as solar photovoltaics (PVs), can connect to the grid. In some areas of the United States, the interconnection process lacks consistent parameters and procedures for connecting to the grid or is unnecessarily complex. This drives up costs and causes delays, which can be sign...See more on epa.govc2es
