U.S. Interior Secretary Deb Haaland announced today that the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is actively working on the development of 15 new renewable energy installations across the western United States. These projects aim to contribute to the Biden administration’s goal of achieving 25 GW of onshore renewable energy capacity on public lands by 2025.

Among the highlighted installations, the recently operational Oberon Solar Project in Riverside County, California, stands out with its impressive 500-MW capacity and energy storage capabilities. Additionally, the Arlington Solar Energy Center, a 364-MW project, has also entered commercial operation in the same county.
