Digest
SB 2657 requires that lease agreements for wind and solar power facilities include provisions for recycling or disposal of facility components. It mandates that grantees (the parties responsible for the facility) must reuse, recycle, or properly dispose of wind turbine and solar panel components at authorized disposal facilities. The bill also requires leaseholders to obtain financial assurance to cover removal, recycling, and site restoration costs, with cost estimates prepared by independent engineers and updated periodically. These provisions apply only to agreements entered into on or after the bill’s effective date​.
