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.
