Available land in the United States for renewable energy sites continues to shrink, according to a new report by Paces, a renewable-energy project-planning software developer.
Analyzing data from January 2024 through October 2024, Paces found decreases in the number of sites suitable for renewables, the average acreage of sites available and the average feeder capacity.
The report analyzed renewable energy site availability across 12 states:
- Colorado
- Connecticut
- Delaware
- Illinois
- Maryland
- Massachusetts
- Michigan
- Minnesota
- New York
- Oregon
- Virginia
Paces defined a suitable site as a parcel with at least 1 MW of feedable capacity and at least 15 buildable acres.
