What’s in it
Current law requires the Iowa utilities board to regulate the installation of electric power generating facilities in the state with a total capacity of 25 megawatts of electricity or more, including wind energy conversion facilities. A person shall not construct such a facility unless issued a certificate by the board. This bill allows the board of supervisors of a county to establish standards and requirements regarding the installation or siting of wind energy conversion facilities within the jurisdiction of the county and provides that the board of supervisors shall make the final determination regarding the installation or siting of any such facility.
