Bill > HF2793

This bill amends the existing Minnesota solar energy statutes by adding a sunset provision to the community solar garden program, which means the entire section of law governing community solar gardens will automatically expire on July 31, 2028. A sunset provision is a legislative mechanism that automatically terminates a law or program on a specified date unless explicitly renewed by the legislature. In this context, the bill sets an expiration date for the state's community solar garden program, which allows groups of utility customers to collectively invest in and benefit from a shared solar energy installation. By setting this expiration date, the legislature ensures that the program will be reviewed and potentially reconsidered or modified before 2028, providing an opportunity to assess the program's effectiveness, cost, and ongoing utility in promoting renewable energy development.
