Bill Summary
Relative to large-scale solar energy installations on agricultural or recreational land of the Commonwealth. Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy.
AI Summary
This bill seeks to regulate large-scale solar energy installations on agricultural or recreational land owned by the Commonwealth or its political subdivisions. Specifically, it requires the Commissioner to certify that land of "like kind and quantity" will be dedicated for agricultural or recreational use before a large-scale solar installation (over 5 acres) can be installed on such land. The Commissioner must record this certification in the registry of deeds at least 30 days prior to the installation. The bill defines key terms such as "agricultural land," "recreational land," and "solar energy system" to provide context.
