A bill that would set state standards for commercial wind and solar farms aims to strike a balance between local control and Indiana’s need for renewable energy, the measure’s co-author said.
Debate over House Bill 1381, co-written by State Rep. Sharon Negele (R-Attica) was among the topics discussed Saturday at a virtual legislative roundtable sponsored by the Crawfordsville/Montgomery County Chamber of Commerce.
The bill proposes default rules for developers on the installation and siting of wind turbines and solar panels, and is intended to stop counties from banning development of renewable energy projects.
