SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Land lease program for installation of solar energy collection devices; purchase of energy produced; highway rights-of-way. Requires the Department of Transportation (the Department) to evaluate land owned by the Commonwealth for use as rights-of-way for suitability for the installation of solar energy collection devices and to solicit bids for the lease of such land for such installation. The bill establishes a revenue-sharing arrangement between the locality or localities in which the right-of-way is located and the state general fund. The bill provides that any entity submitting a bid must complete the application and review process for the use of a right-of-way as established by the Department and as required by federal law. The bill requires solar right-of-way generators to enter into a power purchase agreement with a utility to purchase all the energy generated by the solar energy collection devices.
