SUMMARY AS PASSED SENATE:

Power plant siting. Establishes a pre-application planning and review process for certain gas or electric utility facilities.

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Power plant siting.  Creates a single Board to function as the permitting authority for all governmental approval for electric generation facilities with an installed capacity of 10 or more megawatts. The authority of the State Corporation Commission to issue certificates approving the construction and operation of such faculties is removed. The measure also repeals a provision authorizing the Department of Environmental Quality and the State Air Pollution Control Board to consider the cumulative impact of new and proposed electric generating facilities within the Commonwealth on attainment of the national ambient air quality standards.
