SB3409 regulates energy storage systems, setting standards for construction, decommissioning, and agricultural impact mitigation.
SB3409 amends the Counties Code to establish regulations for energy storage systems, which are facilities with an aggregate energy capacity greater than 500 kilowatts. The bill mandates that counties review and process building permit applications for energy storage systems within 60 days. It sets a maximum fee for siting approval or special use permits at $5,000 per megawatt of nameplate capacity or $50,000, whichever is less.
