Renewable Energy Guide a Guide for Local Governments
s GREAT PLAINS INSTITUTE December 2020 Indiana Renewable Energy Guide A Guide for Local Governments This guide was authored by Jenna Greene, Brian Ross, and Jessi Wyatt of the Great Plains Institute in collaboration with the Environmental Resilience Institute at Indiana University. The information and work presented herein was funded in part by Energy Foundation. Photo from Great Plains Institute by Katharine Chute SUMMARY Wind and solar energy are among the least expensive forms of electric generation in the country. Solar and wind resources are abundant throughout Indiana. Costs of both solar and wind energy systems are forecast to continue declining. Increased market activity in renewable energy development will therefore continue well into the future. This guide provides Indiana communities with a long-range perspective on utility- and community-scale solar and wind energy markets and development trends. Understanding the long-term context helps communities make informed decisions in evaluating renewable energy proposals and creating plans about how future development should happen. The Great Plains Institute is engaging local governments across the Upper Midwest on long- term planning for renewable energy. Additional guides are available on the Great Plains Institute website: www.betterenergy.org. SITING UTILITY-SCALE SOLAR AND WIND IN INDIANA 1 SUMMARY OF RENEWABLE ENERGY SITING AUTHORITY Siting authority for solar and wind systems in Indiana resides at the local level.1 Additional permits are granted by state bodies, but these projects are still subject to local land use controls. For example, the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission issues a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity for large-scale energy facilities, but neither solar nor wind energy systems require a state-level siting permit.2 Zoning and land use standards vary widely across Indiana’s counties. -

Wind Powering America Fy08 Activities Summary
WIND POWERING AMERICA FY08 ACTIVITIES SUMMARY Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy Dear Wind Powering America Colleague, We are pleased to present the Wind Powering America FY08 Activities Summary, which reflects the accomplishments of our state Wind Working Groups, our programs at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, and our partner organizations. The national WPA team remains a leading force for moving wind energy forward in the United States. At the beginning of 2008, there were more than 16,500 megawatts (MW) of wind power installed across the United States, with an additional 7,000 MW projected by year end, bringing the U.S. installed capacity to more than 23,000 MW by the end of 2008. When our partnership was launched in 2000, there were 2,500 MW of installed wind capacity in the United States. At that time, only four states had more than 100 MW of installed wind capacity. Twenty-two states now have more than 100 MW installed, compared to 17 at the end of 2007. We anticipate that four or five additional states will join the 100-MW club in 2009, and by the end of the decade, more than 30 states will have passed the 100-MW milestone. WPA celebrates the 100-MW milestones because the first 100 megawatts are always the most difficult and lead to significant experience, recognition of the wind energy’s benefits, and expansion of the vision of a more economically and environmentally secure and sustainable future. Of course, the 20% Wind Energy by 2030 report (developed by AWEA, the U.S. Department of Energy, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, and other stakeholders) indicates that 44 states may be in the 100-MW club by 2030, and 33 states will have more than 1,000 MW installed (at the end of 2008, there were six states in that category). -
Meadow Lake Wind Farm
Meadow Lake Wind Farm Meadow Lake Wind Farm is located in northwestern Indiana in White County. The site offers many advantages as a location for a modern wind power project, including a strong, proven wind resource, excellent access to a transmission line, compatibility with existing land uses and proximity to power markets. The wind farm co-exists well with the agricultural land use in the area, allowing farmers to continue growing crops while generating revenue from the wind turbines. Energy Output Meadow Lake I Wind Farm has an installed capacity of 199.65 megawatts (MW), Phase II has an installed capacity of 99 MW and Phase III has an installed capacity of 103.5 MW, and Phase IV has an installed capacity of 98.7 MW. The wind farms generate enough clean, renewable energy to power approximately 138,000 average Indiana homes each year. EDP Renewables North America’s Development team is developing additional phases with a potential installed capacity of up to 500 megawatts in White and Benton Counties. Benefits to the Community The four phases of Meadow Lake Wind Farm yield significant economic benefits to the community in the form of payments to landowners, local spending and annual community investment. In addition, the development, construction and operation of the wind farms have generated a significant number of jobs. During construction, more than 1,000 contracters were hired. The wind farm helps provide energy security to the United States by diversifying the electricity generation portfolio, protecting against volatile natural gas spikes and utilizing a renewable, domestic source of energy. -
