Establish setback from residential properties for new windmills being constructed throughout the state.

Summary

The bill adds new rules that the Public Service Commission must follow before issuing a siting certificate for a wind energy system. It mandates that each turbine be placed at least 1.1 times its total height away from any non‑owner’s property line or a public road, and at least 1.5 times its height from any residence, unless the landowner signs a waiver. The measures apply to new systems larger than 500 kW and do not affect modifications to certificates issued before the law takes effect.
