Solar Regulation Guidance for Local Government

Solar regulation guidance

Wisconsin counties, cities, villages and towns are seeking guidance about the extent to which local governments may regulate solar development projects within their borders. 

This memorandum is intended to provide legal education and training, but nothing in this memorandum should be construed as providing specific legal guidance. 

Rather, counties, cities, villages and towns should consult with competent legal counsel before enacting any solar regulatory ordinance or before taking regulatory action on a proposed or existing solar development.
