Policy documents on land use for wind power generation

4 FAQs about Policy documents on land use for wind power generation

What is wind power policy?

BUFFER AREA DIAGRAM.................................................................... 1 This Wind Power policy applies to the disposition of Crown land for the various components of a wind power project including: wind turbines, maintenance buildings, other plant facilities, road(s), transmission line(s) and surrounding Crown land.

Who approves a wind power project?

The county governing body, e.g., a board of commissioners or board of adjustment, typically approves and issues a permit for siting and development. In most counties throughout the United States, a wind power project is conditionally allowed in rural land use zones.

Can a state sit a wind energy project?

C. Local Siting. In states where projects do not trigger state siting jurisdiction, and in states with no state siting process, wind energy projects are permitted by the local jurisdiction. For typical rural wind energy projects, this is almost always a county (as opposed to a city governing body).

Do wind projects need land rights?

A. Federal Siting. Wind projects proposed on federally managed land must secure land rights (typically a right-of-way grant or special use permit) and undergo the associated environmental review under the National Environmental Policy Act (“NEPA”) and related statutes.

U.S. Wind Turbine Database

The United States Wind Turbine Database (USWTDB) provides the locations of land-based and offshore wind turbines in the United States, corresponding wind project information, and turbine technical
