Renewable Energy Development Restrictions Review

preliminary injunction granted

A series of agency actions imposed restrictions on renewable energy development, specifically wind and solar projects, which stalled developments across the United States. These actions included new review procedures, bans on project listings on planning tools, and requirements for additional project alternatives and considerations of energy density in permit applications. A federal judge blocked these agency actions, granting a preliminary injunction to prevent their implementation, aiming to facilitate progress for stalled renewable energy projects.
