Solar Leasing and Solar as a Revenue Generator for Local Governments

ICLEI’s partner, The Solar Foundation, has released two new fact sheets for local governments:

• Leasing Municipal and Private Property for Solar: Key Steps and Considerations (pdf)
  The resource provides readers with general guidance on how to unlock the revenue potential of idle property by leasing land and roof space for solar development.
  
  
• Solar as a Revenue Generator for Local Governments: (pdf)
  This resource demonstrates how cities and counties across the nation have leveraged solar for their fiscal benefit.
  

The Solar Foundation created these as part of its efforts under the Solar Outreach Partnership, funded by the U.S. Department of Energy’s SunShot Initiative. As a member of this partnership, The Solar Foundation helps provide information and technical expertise to local governments interested in implementing solar programs and policies.
