Brownfields Redevelopment  |  Solar Energy

This page highlights the Mining the Sun Report which recommends siting clean energy projects on degraded land like mining sites, landfills, and brownfields. Siting solar energy on former mine sites and brownfields has five benefits: financial incentives, existing infrastructure, economic revitalization, meeting electricity demands, and minimizing environmental impacts. Included on the page are a map of mines and brownfields in the U.S. and 10 examples of states already implementing solar on brownfield sites.
