Wind Siting Rules
2009 Wisconsin Act 40 (Act 40) directed the Public Service Commission to promulgate administrative rules that specify the restrictions a political subdivision (a city, village, town or county) may impose on the installation or use of a wind energy system, and to help ensure consistent local procedures for local regulation of wind energy systems. Pursuant to Act 40, if a political subdivision chooses to regulate such systems, its regulations may not be more restrictive than the Commission’s rules. The Commission established docket 1-AC-231 to conduct the rulemaking under Act 40. On December 27, 2010, the Commission adopted the final wind siting rules, Wisconsin Administrative Code Chapter PSC 128. The rules have been published in the Wisconsin Administrative Register. UPDATE: The wind siting rules, PSC 128, are NOT in effect. It is unknown whether the windsiting rules will take effect, and if so, when. The wind siting rules were expected to take effect March 1, 2011, after they were published in the Wisconsin Administrative Register. The Joint Committee for the Review of Administrative Rules voted to suspend the wind siting rules on March 1, 2011. Additional Information
