Summary
The measure amends the Illinois Counties Code to make counties mandatory to require energy storage owners to file detailed drainage repair plans, a decommissioning plan, and safety documents that follow National Fire Protection Association standards. It also obligates owners to sign an agricultural impact mitigation agreement for each system and keep a copy on site during construction or removal. These rules apply to storage facilities larger than 500/1,000 kilowatts and aim to protect farmland and public safety.
