    Indiana Renewable Energy Guide: A Guide for Local Governments
    (2020-12-01) Greene, Jeanne; Ross, Brian; Wyatt, Jessi
    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.

    Model Solar Ordinance for Indiana Local Governments
    (2020-12-01) Greene, Jenna; Ross, Brian; Wyatt, Jessi
    Local governments in Indiana are seeing increasing interest from property owners in solar energy installations and are having to address a variety of solar land uses in their development regulations. This Model Ordinance is based on research and best practices identified through working with over 100 Midwestern communities over the last ten years as solar energy markets evolved and expanded. The model has been tailored to reflect Indiana-specific enabling statutes, ordinance practices, and community priorities currently seen in the state, with input from local planning, solar industry, and other experts.
