I am researching legislation having to do with U.S. Energy Policy and ran across: "Directs the Secretary to develop siting criteria for marine renewable energy generation projects prior to installation of such technologies." in a bill summary. Just wondering what exactly siting criteria is. Thanks.

"Siting criteria" are the reasons for placing a project at a particular location.
For example, suppose you want to build off-shore wind turbines to create electricity. You have to take into account, shipping lanes, weather patterns, fishing grounds and whether or not it spoils Teddy Kennedy's view.
NB: Senator Kennedy objected to an off-shore wind farm because he would be able to see it from the Kennedy compound. See source below.
