As part its ‘American energy dominance’ agenda, US President Donald Trump’s administration unexpectedly announced it will review the Desert Renewable Energy Conservation Plan (DRECP), an Obama-era plan that imposed restrictions on where solar and wind projects can be built in the California desert.
The Interior Department says it will shortly kick off a 45-day public comment period, potentially leading to amendments to the DRECP that could spark a wave of renewables development in southern California.
