Designation on BLM-administered lands within which solar, wind, and geothermal renewable energy development and associated activities are allowable uses and that have been determined to be of low or lower resource conflict. The intent is to incentivize and streamline such development in these areas.</span><br /><br /><span style='color:rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family:&quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:14.4014px;'>Variance Process Lands (VPLs). Designation on BLM-administered lands that are available for solar, wind, and geothermal renewable energy development. Renewable energy projects on VPLs have minimal streamlining and must comply with a specific set of CMAs. Renewable energy applications in VPLs will follow the variance process described in the Western Solar Plan ROD.</span><br /></div>
