Fw: IMPORTANT- Energy Siting Regs! - attend hearing/comment please
Janet Sinclair
Dear Solar and Ecosystem colleagues,
I happened to look at the Energy Facilities Siting Board (EFSB) website today and was surprised to find that their draft regulations on Site Suitability and Cumulative Impact were released on Jan. 20. No one seems to have been notified. This is what we care about most so we should attend the hearings and comment. These are for the "large" clean energy facilities.
