Description
Small renewable energy projects. Directs the Department of Environmental Quality to develop a permit by rule for the construction and operation of electrical generation facilities that have a maximum capacity of 100 megawatts and that generate electricity only from sunlight, wind, falling water, sustainable biomass, energy from waste, municipal solid waste, wave motion, tides, or geothermal power. A small renewable energy project for which such a permit by rule has been issued will be exempt from requirements that the State Corporation Commission permit its construction and operation. Amends § 10.1-1197.5, § 10.1-1197.7, § 56-46.1, § 56-580, of the Code of Virginia. View Full Text »
