Vetoed·5/27/25

Oklahoma SB915 mandates standards for commercial solar energy facilities, including spacing, distance from residences, and erosion prevention.

Oklahoma SB915 establishes specific standards for commercial solar energy facilities. It requires a minimum of 20 feet of space between rows of solar panels, a distance of at least 500 yards from residential dwellings, and measures to prevent soil erosion. These facilities must also promote optimal runoff flow. The Corporation Commission is tasked with enforcing these provisions and can create necessary rules. The act applies to all commercial solar energy facilities in the state, including those on lands owned or leased by the Commissioners of the Land Office.
