Visualizing Arizona’s desert landscape, the blazing hot sun rises to the front of the mind; and with government interest in creating more renewable energies, it begs the question of how much solar energy could be developed within the state.
In an April 20 news release, the U.S. Department of the Interior discussed its updated plan that is in line with the Biden-Harris administration’s goal “to permit 25 gigawatts of renewable power on public lands by 2025.”
Through these efforts, the Bureau of Land Management made forecasts on additional renewable energy activity, identified improvements to energy corridors in the western states and renewed and updated a policy to improve the processing of solar and wind projects on public lands.
