US Industry Stakeholders Set Solar PEIS Deadline

PV Magazine

A group of 20 U.S. solar industry stakeholders have submitted a letter to Secretary of the Interior, Ken Salazar, in which they lay out their recommendations for creating a “smart from the start” public land solar energy program. They also state that it “must” be complete by the end of fiscal year 2012.

Following the closure of the 90 day public comment period on its Supplement to the Draft Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement for Solar Energy Development (Solar PEIS), the U.S. Interior Department is working towards finalizing the country’s first public land solar energy program.
