Summary
This dataset represents proposed areas that the Center for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Technologies (CEERT) and Large-Scale Solar Alliance (LSA) consider to be priority Development Focus Areas. They were included because they represent access to high-value resources for solar development but exclude lands that have been identified to have significant environmental value.

The constraints placed on the development areas, requested by the Governorâs office, were determined with feedback and input from the industry. Â CEERT and LSA used a number of factors to highlight the best development areas at the time, including but not limited to: conflicting land use (environmental, military, and existing development), commercial interest, publicly available solar resource data, and transmission access.
