SB3078 regulates energy storage systems in Illinois, focusing on agricultural impact mitigation, siting, and decommissioning.
SB3078 amends the Illinois Counties Code to regulate energy storage systems, particularly those with capacities over 500 kilowatts. It mandates that facility owners enter into agricultural impact mitigation agreements with the Department of Agriculture, outlining plans for land restoration, deconstruction, and compensation for damages. Counties can require facility owners to submit decommissioning plans, emergency operations plans, and hazard mitigation analyses. The bill also sets standards for siting energy storage systems, including setbacks from occupied buildings and protected lands.
