Excludes biomass, solar, and wind energy systems located on rooftops or exception areas from certain size restrictions applicable to preserved farmland.*
Reported with Assembly committee amendments Referred to ATU
Summary
The legislation lets owners of preserved farmland install biomass, solar or wind facilities on building roofs, non‑preserved land, or designated exception zones without the usual acreage or generation caps. It still requires committee approval and compliance with impact, ownership, and use rules, but removes the 1 % land‑use and generation‑capacity limits for those locations. The goal is to encourage clean‑energy projects while protecting farmland productivity.
