Benchmark: BLM’s Revised Renewable Energy Right-of-Way Procedures

Take this benchmark to assess how much you would benefit from taking the course on Rights-of-Way, Leasing, and Operations for Renewable Energy. In just a few minutes, you’ll gauge your grasp of why BLM updated rents and capacity fees, how Designated Leasing Areas (DLAs) shift siting and competition, what documentation and timing obligations matter, and how compliance choices affect cost, schedule, and future access to public lands.

What you’ll get from this benchmark:
– A quick read on whether you understand the intent behind the new rate-setting approach (market alignment, investment signals, fair return).
– A sense of your readiness to navigate DLAs, competitive processes, and application completeness.
– Insight into trade-offs you’ll face: speed vs stewardship, compliance vs flexibility, affordability vs fair return, local benefits vs lowest bid.
– Clarity on whether you can credibly pursue reductions (domestic content, PLAs) and avoid pitfalls that lead to delays or penalties.

If several items feel uncertain, the course will help you translate the final rule into practical steps—calculating charges, preparing documentation, prioritizing sites, engaging competitively, and managing operations to stay compliant while advancing viable solar and wind projects on public lands.
