Tpdf Text

This bill mandates timely recycling or disposal of waste components from decommissioned solar energy developments in Maine.

This bill amends Maine's solar energy development decommissioning laws to ensure that the recycling or disposal of waste components from solar energy developments occurs within days of their physical removal from the development. The bill emphasizes the urgency of this requirement due to the recent proliferation of solar energy developments in the state. It mandates that recyclable components, such as solar panels, be recycled by authorized facilities, while non-recyclable components must be disposed of by authorized facilities. The bill takes effect immediately due to the declared emergency.
