Read research and analysis on Wind and Solar Project Proximity: Impact on Indiana Residential Property Values published by ICANEWS, a global research journal for emerging researchers.

Key Takeaways

  • No statistically significant negative effects on residential property values were found in Indiana due to proximity to large wind projects.
  • No statistically significant negative effects on residential property values were found in Indiana due to proximity to utility-scale solar projects.

Overview

Research conducted by Ball State University's Center for Business and Economic Research (CBER) investigated the relationship between residential property values in Indiana and their proximity to large-scale wind or utility-scale solar projects. The study concluded that there were no statistically significant negative effects observed on residential property values associated with such proximity.

Research Context

The research brief focused specifically on property values within Indiana. The types of renewable energy infrastructure considered were large wind projects and utility-scale solar projects.

Findings

The core finding of the research brief was that no statistically significant negative effects were identified regarding residential property values when properties were located in proximity to either large wind or utility-scale solar projects in Indiana.
