HB621

Requires recycling of decommissioned renewable energy infrastructure

Final Passage·5/26/26

Louisiana HB621 mandates recycling of decommissioned renewable energy infrastructure.

HB621 requires decommissioning plans for renewable energy facilities to include recycling of components or infrastructure. The Department of Environmental Quality determines which parts can be recycled, excluding those needing disposal under other laws. Costs for decommissioning and recycling are to be borne by the facility owner. The bill also redesignates headings for existing law provisions related to batteries, wind energy, and solar power generation facilities.
