NIMBY rules which allow a single person to block on onshore wind farms are to be binned immediately.
Rishi Sunak is set to make a compromise today to Tory rebels to quash an upcoming rebellion over building new turbines.
Ministers will promise to rip up the default ban – but only when enough locals support it.
Councils will have to prove they have tried to address and hear concerns from people trying to block it in future, but will change the wording of strict planning rules.
And they will have more of a say in the location of new projects.
Firms will be able to expand and rebuild existing wind farms without having to get the same level of permissions.
Brits who leave near wind turbines and agree to have them put up in their back garden will be eligible for cheaper bills, under government proposals.
A string of up to 25 Tory rebels are expected to climb down from pushing their amendment to the upcoming energy bill when ministers confirm the move today.
No10 and a group of MPs including former climate chief Sir Alok Sharma and former Levelling Up Secretary Simon Clarke have been locked in talks for over a week.
Sir Alok told the BBC this morning: "We've been in a detailed discussion with the government.
"I think it's going to be very important to see the detail of what the government puts forward in terms of its ministerial statement, in terms of what ministers say from the despatch box.
"I hope that the government will will have listened and will be willing to move forward.
"The current situation we have is that the just one objection can prevent a wind farm from being built. I mean, clearly, that is not a convenient veto.
"And frankly, I don't think it's a sensible way for a planning system to operate.
"Of course communities should have a say, but the idea that there should be just one objection and you can't have a wind farm, I think that is outdated."
And he warned the PM that any party going wobbly on protecting the planet would "pay a heavy price at the ballot box."
Ministers have already long-promised to rip up the archaic planning rules, but have failed to bring forward the changes.
Mr Sunak previously vowed to keep the de facto ban – introduced by David Cameron – in place.
But was forced to change tack after a rebellion by his own backbenchers in December.

"These changes were agreed during passage of the Levelling Up and Regeneration Bill. We are very clear that onshore wind developments should have the consent of, and benefit, local communities.
"However, we want to see the sector thrive and believe that this is an important step forward."
