A bill for an act establishing standards for obstruction lights on wind energy conversion facilities and providing penalties.
Subcommittee recommends amendment and passage.
Summary
The bill mandates that all wind energy facilities with a capacity over 100 kW install obstruction lights controlled by an aircraft detection lighting system (ADLS) and requires older facilities to retrofit by Jan 1 2028 unless terrain or air‑space conditions make it impractical. Facility owners must keep the system operating and face civil penalties of $100‑$2,500 per day for each violation. The goal is to improve aviation safety around tall wind structures.
