Overview: Responding to concerns about increasing electricity costs, environmental quality, grid security, and disaster preparedness, many local governments have established policies and programs to foster renewable energy development. Some of these initiatives are directed at encouraging residents, businesses, and developers to install renewable energy systems; such initiatives include outreach and demonstration programs, solar access provisions in zoning and development guidelines, and top-of-the-stack permitting or other enticements for solar builders. In other cases, local governments have committed to using renewable energy resources for a portion of their own energy needs by participating in utility green pricing programs or issuing their own requests for service.
