A Wisconsin legislative committee has scheduled a meeting on March 1 to discuss suspending the state’s new uniform standards for wind farm siting, according to AWEA.

The meeting takes place on the same day that the new Public Service Commission rule, PSC 128, is scheduled to take effect.

The new standards, which we reported on in January, are a first-in-the-nation attempt to create a consistent set of standards for wind developers to follow, potentially avoiding local-level regulatory fights.
