HB 2175 Small renewable energy projects; DEQ to develop procedure permitting construction and operation.
Introduced by: Clarke N. Hogan | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS ENACTED WITH GOVERNOR'S RECOMMENDATION: (all summaries)
Small renewable energy projects; penalty. Directs the Department of Environmental Quality to develop a permit or permits by rule for the construction and operation of small renewable energy projects that have a maximum capacity of 100 megawatts if they generate electricity from sunlight, wind, or falling water, wave motion, tides, or geothermal power, or 20 megawatts if they generate electricity from biomass, energy from waste, or municipal solid waste. A small renewable energy project for which such a permit by rule has been issued will be exempt from requirements that the State Corporation Commission permit its construction and operation. However, the Commission will retain jurisdiction regarding use of rights-of-way and interconnection of such facilities. Fees collected from owners and operators of small renewable energy projects will be paid into a special nonreverting fund in the state treasury. Violations are subject to civil and criminal penalties. HB 2525 is incorporated. SB 1347 is identical.
