Concerning the siting of distributed energy generation resources on agricultural lands.

Summary

The measure adds certain clean‑energy projects—solar with storage, small wind, microgrids and related programs—to a list of “distributed energy priorities” that can be placed on agricultural land as long as farming can continue. It defines agrivoltaic and “pivot‑corner” solar farms that must coexist with crops, grazing or livestock and sets design standards to protect the land. It also gives counties and cities new zoning tools to keep prime farmland in production while allowing these energy projects.
