Energy: alternative sources; zoning exemptions for large scale solar, wind, and energy storage facilities; eliminate. Amends title & sec. 13 of 2008 PA 295 (MCL 460.1013) & repeals pt. 8 of 2008 PA 295 (MCL 460.1221 - 460.1232). TIE BAR WITH: SB 0899'24

This bill repeals the section of Michigan's Clean and Renewable Energy and Energy Waste Reduction Act that established wind energy resource zones and related expedited siting procedures. By removing these provisions, the legislation effectively ends the special zoning exemptions and streamlined approval processes previously available for large-scale solar, wind, and energy storage facilities. The bill also amends the act's title and definitions but relies on a companion bill to take effect. Ultimately, this measure reverses specific policy changes that allowed for faster development of renewable energy projects by eliminating the designated wind zones.
