HB 3244 establishes new regulations for wind turbine generators, focusing on light pollution mitigation and location requirements. It mandates that wind energy operators, including electric cooperatives, power generation companies, and municipal utilities, must apply to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for approval to install light mitigation technology on wind turbines. New wind turbine generators installed on or after December 31, 2026, must submit this application at least 180 days before commercial operation, and installation of the technology must be completed within 18 months of FAA approval. Operators with existing wind turbines must apply for approval when repowering or signing a new long-term power purchase agreement and complete installation within 18 months of approval. Operators experiencing installation delays beyond their control must file quarterly reports explaining the reason for the delay. Additionally, the bill requires wind energy developers to provide documentation proving that FAA has determined the facility is not a hazard to air navigation and that the Military Aviation and Installation Assurance Siting Clearinghouse has certified that the facility does not negatively impact military operations or that a mitigation agreement has been executed. Failure to comply with these requirements may result in administrative penalties, with a maximum fine of $1 million for violations.
