Wind, Solar Siting Bill Still Not Signed

A bill that passed the Illinois House and Senate limiting the amount of control county governments can have over the siting of wind and solar projects is still awaiting the Governor’s signature.

 

The new bill would give counites 4 months to change existing zoning laws to come inline with new provisions on setbacks, sound limitations and more issues connected to renewable energy projects. Gov. JB Pritzker was asked if he will sign the bill – he didn’t come out and say yes but he didn’t say no either.

 

 

Dozens of counties have opposed the plan to establish statewide zoning regulations for solar and wind development.
