Exemptions to the certificate of need requirement amended.

Summary

The bill changes the state’s certificate‑of‑need (CON) exemption list, adding a range of cogeneration plants, small‑capacity generators, certain high‑voltage lines, renewable wind and solar projects, energy storage, and specific upgrades. It also defines “repowering projects” for wind and solar and sets the law effective the day after enactment for projects that start after that date. The changes aim to streamline approval for these projects while keeping CON review optional for larger or more complex cases.
