Tennessee SB0962 amends state code to regulate high energy use facilities, requiring site assessments and local compliance.
Tennessee SB0962 amends state code to regulate high energy use facilities (HEUF), which require 100 megawatts or more of electrical power. It mandates localities to require applicants to submit site assessments before approving rezoning requests, special exceptions, or special use permits. These assessments must examine the facility's sound profile, effects on water, agricultural resources, parks, and compliance with local ordinances. The act also allows localities to request guidance from the Department of Environment and Conservation for permitting procedures and site assessments.
