Lifting the 2% property tax cap on new renewable energy projects will allow municipalities to enjoy the many benefits of commu- nity-scale renewable energy. The establishment of a state-level appeals process under ORES would protect proposed distributed renewable energy projects from unreasonable local policies that effectively place a mora- torium on the siting of such projects.
