Regulatory and Permitting Information Desktop (RAPID) Toolkit

Publicly accessible License 

The Regulatory and Permitting Information Desktop (RAPID) Toolkit combines the former Geothermal Regulatory Roadmap, National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Database, and other resources into a Web-based tool that gives the regulatory and utility-scale geothermal developer communities rapid and easy access to permitting information. RAPID currently comprises five tools: Permitting Atlas, Regulatory Roadmap, Resource Library, NEPA Database, and Best Practices.

Because of the huge amount of information involved, RAPID was developed in a wiki platform to allow industry and regulatory agencies to maintain the content in the future so that it continues to provide relevant and accurate information to users. The content was expanded to include regulatory requirements for utility-scale solar, hydropower, and bulk transmission development projects.

Going forward, development of the RAPID Toolkit will focus on expanding the capabilities of current tools, developing additional tools, including additional technologies, and continuing to increase stakeholder involvement.
