Utilities

Summary

The bill lets counties adopt ordinances that force solar facilities of 1 MW or more to be removed and the land restored within 24 months after notice that the plant has reached the end of its useful life, and may require financial guarantees to cover those costs. It also orders the Florida Department of Environmental Protection to develop and annually update best‑management practices for building solar facilities, and changes storm‑protection plan rules to require a forecasted customer benefit for any improvement. The measure would affect solar developers, local governments, the DEP, and utility regulators.
