The Biden Administration has given the Green Light to build Solar Power Farms on 31 million acres of Federal Land.
The Updates to the Western Solar Plan, managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), will allow Public Land in 11 Western States to be Sites for Solar Power Farms. First drafted in 2012, the Expansion to the Plan aims to build on the Biden Administration’s Goal of achieving a 100% Clean Energy Grid by 2035.
This year, the BLM met its Goal of Permitting more than 25 gigawatts of Clean Energy Projects on Federal Land. The Agency has Permitted Clean Energy Projects on Public Lands with a Total Capacity of Approximately 29 GW. The Biden-Harris Administration has Approved Nine Solar Projects.
“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.
“It will drive responsible solar development to locations with fewer potential conflicts while helping the nation transition to a clean energy economy, furthering the BLM’s Mission to Sustain the Health, Diversity, and Productivity of Public Lands for the Use and Enjoyment of Present and Future Generations.”
Solar Panel Farms have been Incorporated on Farmland, creating a Symbiotic Relationship between Solar Energy Developers and Farmers.
