Energy Resources
Local governments have opportunities to become involved in a variety of energy resource issues that are addressed in these pages. Among the issues are energy conservation, participating in major energy facilities siting decisions, franchising activities for energy transmission and distribution facilities, facilitating the development of alternative energy facilities, and developing land use policies that provide guidance as to where energy facilities should be located in their communities.
These Web pages provide topical overviews, reference sources for research, and sample land use policies and regulations.
