Bill > H3562

This bill directs the Secretary of Energy and Environmental Affairs to conduct a comprehensive study on the potential for installing solar panels on municipal and state-owned buildings and land. The study will explore the technical and financial feasibility of these solar installations, including an analysis of possible funding sources for implementing such projects. The secretary is required to complete the study and submit a detailed report within one year of the bill's passage to several key entities: the Clerks of the Senate and House of Representatives, the Department of Environmental Protection, and the Joint Committee on Environment, Natural Resources and Agriculture. By mandating this study, the bill aims to assess the viability of expanding solar energy infrastructure across public properties, which could potentially reduce energy costs, decrease carbon emissions, and promote renewable energy adoption at the municipal and state levels.
