What it does
The Renewable Energy Choice Act would prohibit state and local governments from adopting or enforcing laws, regulations, or policies that restrict or limit renewable energy projects based on the type or source of energy, including wind, solar, energy storage, or geothermal. It specifically bans actions such as permanent bans, moratoriums longer than six months, excessive setbacks or height limits, overly strict noise limits, refusal of road use agreements, and permitting fees that deviate from averages for comparable energy projects. The bill aims to ensure equal access to interstate renewable energy services by preventing discriminatory local barriers to renewable energy development and distribution.
