Texas SB1478 regulates the removal of electric energy storage, renewable power, solar power, and wind power facilities on leased property.

Texas SB1478 transfers and amends Chapter 301 of the Utilities Code, now Chapter 375 of the Health and Safety Code, to regulate the removal of electric energy storage, renewable power, solar power, and wind power facilities on leased property. It mandates that agreements between landowners and operators include provisions for the removal of facilities, restoration of the property, and financial assurance to cover removal costs. Landowners can request forfeiture of financial assurance if operators fail to complete removal and restoration work.
