The Office of Renewable Energy Siting, a first-of-its-kind office established in 2020 by the Accelerated Renewable Energy Growth and Community Benefit Act, consolidates the environmental review and siting of all large-scale renewable energy projects and provides a single forum to ensure that siting decisions are predictable, responsible, and delivered in a timely manner along with opportunities for input from local communities. Large-scale renewable projects include: • Any renewable energy system with a nameplate generating capacity of 25 megawatts or more. • Any co-located battery system storing energy generated from such a renewable energy facility prior to delivering it to the bulk transmission system. • Electric transmission facilities less than 10 miles in length to provide access to load and to integrate such facilities into the State’s bulk electric transmission system.
