Addressing Local Restrictions on DER
Over the past year, RENEW has expanded its capacity to identify and respond to local barriers to distributed renewable energy, with a particular focus on identifying and addressing county and town drafting of restrictive local ordinances. RENEW has developed a framework for tracking county and town activity and coordinating with installers and developers on submitting comments to local board meetings. RENEW continues to communicate with county and town boards, when necessary, to advise on policy and legal implications of overly restrictive local regulations on distributed energy resources.
