The Department is proposing a new rule to provide guidance and clarification on the review process and standards for wind energy projects under the Wind Energy Act (WEA). This rule would provide further guidance by clarifying and explaining the current review process and standards for wind energy projects under the Wind Energy Act (WEA). Since the implementation of the WEA in 2008 the Department has gained valuable experience in the processing of applications under the law. The proposed rule seeks to capture some of the lessons learned from that experience and provide formal guidance on the Department's decision making process.
