- Review of solar decommissioning requirements, including updated plans and guarantees during property transfers

Meeting Date: March 19, 2026
Subject Title: Solar & Battery Energy Storage Amendments
SUBJECT HIGHLIGHTS
Currently, several bills related to battery energy storage systems (BESS) and solar development
are being considered by the state. If approved, this legislation would remove some of the
County’s authority to regulate battery energy storage and solar development.
These bills have been approved by the Senate & House; the Governor must either sign or veto
them no later than April 13th. They include:
• Battery Energy Storage - Senate Bill 443 and its companion, House Bill 891
This would allow BESS as a permitted accessory use on parcels in approved solar projects
without further land use review or requiring a siting agreement.
• Solar Requirements - Senate Bill 347 and its companion, House Bill 711
This would require localities to review ground mounted solar through a special use permit
process (such as a conditional use permit) unless permitted by right & establishes standard
