There are no specific renewable energy requirements for land development at the federal level in the United States. However, some states and local jurisdictions have implemented their own requirements or incentives for renewable energy in new development projects. These requirements may include mandates for a certain percentage of energy to come from renewable sources, incentives for buildings to have solar panels or use geothermal heating and cooling systems, or requirements for buildings to meet certain energy efficiency standards. Developers should check with their local jurisdiction to determine if there are any renewable energy requirements or incentives that apply to their project.
