Delegate Irene Shin and Senator Schuyler VanValkenburg Introduce Bills to Fast Track Clean Energy Initiatives

Idea Category: Clean Energy

Delegate Irene Shin and Senator Schuyler VanValkenburg proposed a suite of bills aiming to fast track clean energy projects and increase the construction, output, and reliability of solar farms. VanValkenburg’s bill proposes a “ban-on-bans,” requiring localities to consider individual solar energy projects instead of enacting a blanket ban. Shin’s bill would allow solar projects that have already been approved to add complementary battery storage facilities without additional review.
