plant; transmission line; definitions

HB 2362 is a definitions bill that clarifies key terms for electric power plants and transmission lines in Arizona law. It defines specific terms like "plant" (thermal/nuclear/hydroelectric units ≥125 MW), "transmission line" (above-ground lines ≥115 kV spanning >1 mile), and "certificate of environmental compatibility" to be used in future siting procedures. This bill does not change current laws or create new requirements - it only establishes standardized language for future legislation governing where new energy infrastructure can be built. The definitions aim to support a more coordinated process for reviewing facility locations, as noted in the bill's legislative intent.
