Maryland SB683 regulates the siting of solar energy generating stations, limiting their area in priority preservation areas and expediting approvals.

Maryland SB683 establishes regulations for the siting of solar energy generating stations. It limits the total area of these stations in priority preservation areas to 5% of the total acreage. Local jurisdictions must expedite the review and approval of site development plans for solar energy generating stations that meet the requirements. Stations on brownfields, school rooftops, or other underutilized land can be credited toward the 5% limitation.
