Requires an owner of a utility-scale solar project to provide a proper decommissioning plan to DNR along with financial assurances prior to starting energy production

Summary

The bill obligates owners of solar farms that generate at least 2 MW to provide the Department of Natural Resources with a detailed decommissioning plan and a guarantee of funds before the project begins operating. It also sets out notification, removal, recycling, and site‑restoration steps that must be completed within a year after the plant stops producing power. The purpose is to ensure that solar sites are safely taken down and the land returned to its prior condition without leaving costs to the state or landowners.
