Kentucky HB925 establishes setback requirements for wind energy facilities and mandates public meetings for proposed projects.

Kentucky HB925 amends the Kentucky Revised Statutes to set specific setback requirements for wind energy facilities. The bill mandates that the exhaust stack of a proposed wind energy turbine must be at least 1,000 feet from any adjoining property boundary and 2,000 feet from residential neighborhoods, schools, hospitals, or nursing homes. If a facility is proposed in a county or municipality with planning and zoning, local commissions may establish additional decommissioning and setback requirements.
