Maps of BLM lands under the various BLM solar development programs. Interactive map services are also available using the Solar Mapper tool.
Maps presenting designated leasing areas (solar energy zones), variance areas, and exclusion areas on BLM-administered lands in the six-state study area are available. Additional maps are available on the Solar PEIS website; however, these maps have not been updated to address land use planning decisions made subsequent to the 2012 Solar PEIS ROD.
A map presenting development focus areas, variance process lands, and legislatively and legally protected lands within the Desert Renewable Energy Conservation Plan (DRECP) study area is available. Additional maps are available through the DRECP Gateway, including the ability to make custom maps. Note that variance lands in California outside of the DRECP study area remain subject to the 2012 Solar PEIS ROD.
A map presenting renewable energy development areas (REDAs) identified through the Restoration Design Energy Project (RDEP) Record of Decision is available.
