The Sitting Solutions project has released its new 'Sitting Policy Handbook', a guide designed for state leaders and advocates of renewable energy sitting reform. The manual uses recent state reforms and real-world examples as recommendations for policy formulation and implementation.

The site solution project was initiated by Clean Tomorrow, a non partisan, results oriented organization dedicated to advancing practical decarbonization solutions.

States don't need to start from scratch - successful models already exist, "said Nelson Falkenburg, co-author and sitting policy manager of the Sitting Solutions Project. This manual demonstrates how states can adopt clear, fair, and predictable sitting rules while promoting the growth of clean energy and strengthening community trust. ”

The United States is facing increasing demand for electricity and soaring electricity costs. Renewable energy projects, such as solar energy, can stabilize and reduce energy costs for stakeholders. The Site Selection Policy Manual calls for a calm review of outdated and fragmented state-level site selection processes. This manual combines internal analysis and external research, and utilizes insights from industry partners, including Data for Progress and strategic economic research.

The 'sitting policy field guide' advocates the use of clear rules, timely decision-making, fair procedures, economic opportunities, community interests, and land management positioning policies.

Sitting is a bottleneck that hinders the potential of clean energy in the United States, "said Alex Breckel, co-author of the Sitting Solutions project and senior director of project planning. By implementing the right policies, states can reduce energy costs for consumers, attract investment, and bring real benefits to workers, landowners, and host communities.
