Energy and Technology Committee Public Hearing to Address Solar Developments
Posted on March 4, 2024
The Energy and Technology Committee will hold a public hearing on Thursday, March 7th to hear testimony on several bill proposals, but namely one I’ve been pushing to address this session, HB-5361, An Act Concerning the Siting of Renewable Energy Sources in the State.
The purpose of this proposal is to (1) revise the Connecticut Siting Council approval process for certain renewable energy projects, and (2) require the council to follow conditions imposed by a municipality for certain projects near an existing facility with a capacity greater than one hundred megawatts.
The public hearing will begin at 11:30 a.m. in Room 1A of the Legislative Office Building, 300 Capitol Ave., Hartford.
