A bill for an act relating to the siting and operation of renewable electric power generating facilities.

Summary

The bill amends Iowa law to give cities and counties the ability to establish setback rules for wind turbines, solar arrays and battery storage systems, but limits those rules to specific maximum distances. It also permits additional requirements on shadow flicker, noise, drainage repair, building and fire codes, and site maintenance. The goal is to promote renewable energy development while protecting nearby homes, schools and other community assets.
