An Act amending Title 27 (Environmental Resources) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in environmental protection, providing for decommissioning of solar energy facilities.

SB 349 requires solar energy facility owners (grantees) to provide detailed decommissioning plans and financial assurance to cover cleanup costs when facilities stop operating. Owners must submit these plans and secure funds starting 30 days before construction begins, with the required amount increasing incrementally over 25 years (reaching 100% of estimated costs by year 25). The financial assurance - held in escrow, bonds, or certificates - must be paid to landowners if owners fail to decommission facilities properly. This directly affects solar facility operators and landowners by ensuring funds are available for site restoration after a facility's operational life ends.
