Iowa has become a clean energy leader, generating over 60% of its electricity from renewables. However, this progress is now threatened by a growing patchwork of local restrictions on wind, solar, and battery storage. To protect Iowa’s leadership, this campaign supports passing statewide siting standards. After three years of advocacy efforts, this legislation recently advanced through relevant committees for the first time generating unprecedented momentum. Now is the time to support advocacy efforts to get this legislation across the finish line – preserving Iowa’s historic leadership in clean energy for decades to come.
