Tennessee SB0132 amends utility facility regulations to include solar energy facilities and modify related definitions and requirements.

Tennessee SB0132 amends Tennessee Code Annotated to expand the definition of "utility facility" to include solar energy facilities, alongside wind energy facilities. The bill modifies various sections to substitute "utility" for "wind energy" and adds "solar" to relevant terms. It introduces new definitions for "solar energy facility" and "solar energy facility expansion." The bill also sets minimum setbacks for wind turbines and solar arrays from non-participating landowners' property lines and mandates decommissioning of non-operational turbines or arrays after 180 days.
