In January 2023, Illinois adopted H.B. 4412, which requires counties and municipalities to adopt statewide standards for utility-scale solar and wind facilities.  Localities cannot have requirements that are more strict than the standards laid out in the law.

The law sets permissible:

• Setback distances
• Blade tip height limitations
• Shadow flicker limitations
• Solar fencing requirements
• Solar height requirements
• Sound limitations
• Decommissioning requirements

The law also prohibits bans and moratoria on large-scale renewable construction, restrictions on supporting facilities that would preclude renewable development, and unreasonable permit fees. The law prevents localities from requiring property value guarantees or payment into a property devaluation

The Long Island Green Homes Program is a self-financing residential retrofit program designed to support a goal of upgrading the energy efficiency of existing homes in the Town of Babylon. The program is a "benefit assessment" program, which allows the town to make a specific improvement that serves a public purpose on a parcel of property, and assess the cost of the benefit against the property. The main benefit of the program is that it allows homeowners to avoid the potentially large up-front costs associated with making energy efficiency improvements, and instead allows them to pay for their cost over

North Carolina enacted legislation (H.B. 1389) in August 2009 that authorizes cities and counties to establish revolving loan programs to finance renewable energy and energy efficiency projects that are permanently affixed to residential, commercial or other real property. A revolving loan program generally refers to a loan fund, where the loan repayments and interest are fed back into the fund. In this way, the loan can, in theory, continue indefinitely. HB 1389 allows cities and counties to fund their loan programs through Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grants from the federal government and the city's or county's unrestricted

Note: In 2010, the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), which has authority over mortgage underwriters Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, directed these enterprises against purchasing mortgages of homes with a PACE lien due to its senior status above a mortgage. Most residential PACE activity subsided following this directive; however, some residential PACE programs are now operating with loan loss reserve funds, appropriate disclosures, or other protections meant to address FHFA's concerns. Commercial PACE programs were not directly affected by FHFA’s actions, as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac do not underwrite commercial mortgages. Visit PACENow for more information about PACE financing and
