Powering Up Wyoming

Do you want to understand how renewable energy projects are approved in Wyoming? See the myths and learn the facts here: poweringupwyoming.org/siting…

Wyoming’s Industrial Development Information and Siting Act guides the permit and regulation process for constructing large industrial facilities in Wyoming. This includes any project exceeding $290,700,000, such as power generation, manufacturing, data centers, carbon capture and certain mining operations.

Wind and solar projects are generating significant sales and property tax revenue for counties across the state. Those dollars go straight to work supporting our public schools, helping maintain transportation infrastructure, and keeping county roads graded and streets plowed through long winters. Renewables are meant to compliment our legacy energy industries, not replace them. We are stronger when we utilize all available energy resources and maintain a balanced energy mix that keeps utilities affordable and reliable. By adding new sources of generation alongside coal, natural gas, and emerging technologies, we strengthen the grid, protect ratepayers and support our local communities.

Wyoming's energy future depends on two things we've always valued: a fair public process and a strong business climate. How it works: youtube.com/watch?v=rFToYSaD…

Wyoming's energy future depends on two things we've always valued: a fair public process and a strong business climate. Our permitting process ensures projects receive careful public review while keeping Wyoming open for business and positioned for the future. Learn more: youtube.com/watch?v=rFToYSaD…

"Wyoming’s [energy development] process recognizes that responsible development is not just about whether a project can be built. It is about how it is built, where it is built, how impacts are addressed, and ensuring that communities are heard along the way." cowboystatedaily.com/2026/07…

Keeping Wyoming open for business is essential to our future. Our schools, counties, roads, small businesses and working families all depend on a strong economy. The next generation of our youth wants to stay in the Cowboy State, but we need jobs to retain them. New energy investment does that by supporting jobs, tax revenue, and long-term opportunities.

Did you know? Wind and solar energy help sustain farm and ranch families for generations to come, generating an average of $41 million per year in land lease payments for family farms, ranchers and private landowners. Learn more: poweringupwyoming.org/resour…

Renewable energy is delivering more than power in Wyoming. It's helping fund schools, maintain roads, support first responders, and strengthen local budgets. An all-available-resources energy strategy makes our grid stronger and our communities more resilient.

Wyoming has long been an energy leader, and its strong wind resources position it well to meet the nation’s growing electricity demand. While Wyoming’s energy future will likely include a mix of resources, including traditional fuels and emerging technologies, cost-competitive renewables can help: * Keep electricity prices more affordable * Meet growing energy demand * Diversify Wyoming’s energy portfolio * Support continued investment in energy infrastructure Learn more: poweringupwyoming.org/wind-%…

Wyoming is an energy leader. For many decades, we have powered the nation and fueled innovation and that leadership has made the Cowboy State a place that has embraced all available energy resources. Wind development has recently come under attack, and while robust discussion is always an essential part of the democratic process, we must base our arguments on facts, not fiction. The spread of misinformation is a “false flag” designed to make you think that elected officials are shirking their responsibilities when it comes to development around renewable projects. Nothing could be further from the truth. Every project, whether in southeast Wyoming or elsewhere in the state, goes through a thorough Industrial Siting process that is among the most rigorous in the country. Developers are required to complete extensive social, economic, and environmental studies, often resulting in applications that run thousands of pages. They must coordinate with 19 state agencies, including the Wyoming Game and Fish Department, before the Wyoming Industrial Siting Council even considers a project. These are not rushed approvals. They are deliberate, transparent, and built to ensure impacts are fully understood and addressed.

"Dear editor: We make our living on land that our families have worked for generations here in the Cowboy State. Ranchers who voluntarily participate in energy development are not undermining Wyoming values. They are exercising them." cowboystatedaily.com/2026/02…

Did you know ALL the electricity that is made in Wyoming – whether it comes from our legacy fuels like coal, or resources such as wind and solar – feeds into the same grid. youtu.be/Gsg4qn6NNjk?si=-lyu…
