reduce the megawattage requirement for energy conversion facilities governed by chapter 49-41B.
SB 108 lowers the megawattage threshold for energy conversion facilities in South Dakota that are regulated under Chapter 49-41B. This change allows smaller energy projects to fall under the same regulatory framework previously reserved for larger facilities. The bill directly affects developers and operators of energy conversion facilities by adjusting the size requirement for compliance. It does not alter the core regulations themselves but expands which facilities must adhere to the existing rules.
