Wind Energy Permit Requirements

 

Permitting of Wind Energy Facilities: A Handbook

The National Wind Coordinating Collaborative's Siting Workgroup has prepared a handbook on permitting issues for wind energy development. The handbook is a useful guide for public agencies and any interested party on the impacts of wind energy development.

The NWCC was formed in 1994 as a collaborative endeavor composed of representatives from diverse sectors including electric utilities and their support organizations, state utility commissions, state legislatures, consumer advocates, wind equipment suppliers and developers, green power marketers, environmental organizations, and state and federal agencies.
