Over 150 Twin Cities metro area communities committed to reviewing their solar permitting, ordinances, and planning practices within the last two years as a part of their comprehensive plan updates. The Metropolitan Council, the Great Plains Institute, and the SolSmart Program are partnering to deliver Minnesota-specific solar training and education programming to support these local government efforts on February 2, 3, and 10, 2021.
