This dataset displays BLM proposed designations on BLM land for renewable energy Development Focus Areas (DFAs), and Variance Process Lands in the Preferred Alternative of the DRECP Proposed LUPA and Final EIS.
These proposed designations identify specific land areas with high quality renewable energy resources (wind, solar, and geothermal) where renewable energy projects may be proposed for development. The proposed LUPA provides specific incentives to encourage development in designated DFAs, and also outlines the process by which the designated Variance Process Lands would be considered for potential renewable energy project development.
