The bill also modifies factors the Public Service Commission must consider when evaluating applications and designating sites, corridors, and routes, including the direct and indirect economic impacts and efforts to maximize employment of local workers. Additionally, the bill states that the Commission may not issue a permit for a wind or solar energy facility unless the applicant can show the project will maximize employment of local workers.
