Solar@Scale: Improving the Local Rules of the Game for Large Scale Solar

Summary

Many local governments in the United States face challenges managing the rapid growth of large-scale solar projects due to a lack of specific planning and permitting experience. The Solar@Scale program, led by ICMA and APA, addressed this by developing and disseminating tools, practices, and a comprehensive guidebook to help local authorities improve decision-making for solar siting, permitting, and inspection. This program has successfully concluded, delivering resources to thousands of local government staff and seeing significant downloads of its guidebook, indicating strong demand and positive user feedback.
