Description
Description | The US Department of Interior has introduced a new requirement for wind and solar energy projects on public land to undergo an "elevated review" by the Office of the Secretary. This means that projects seeking leases, rights-of-way, construction and operation plans, grants, consultations, and biological opinions will require personal approval from the US Secretary of the Interior, Doug Burgum. This policy aims to impose additional scrutiny and could lead to delays or obstruction of renewable energy projects on public lands. |
