Winnebago County drafts rules for solar, crypto and data centers
Original: Winnebago officials drafting ordinance for solar, crypo, battery and data center facilities
Officials in Winnebago County are drafting a new ordinance to regulate solar farms, cryptocurrency mining operations, battery storage facilities and data centers. The measure is aimed at setting clear local standards as developers show growing interest in siting such energy-intensive projects in rural Iowa, where counties often have no existing zoning language covering them.
Why now: Growing proposals for solar, crypto and data center projects in rural Iowa are pushing counties to write zoning rules before development arrives.
