The US Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has announced that it aims to approve the construction of 39 utility-scale solar projects totaling more than 29 GW of plant capacity on federal public lands in six western states through third quarter of 2025.
“The demand for renewable energy has never been greater,” said Interior Secretary Deb Haaland, adding that the projects’ cost-effectiveness, technological advancements, and tremendous economic potential make them a promising path for diversifying the national energy portfolio, combating climate change, and investing in communities.
