AN ACT CONCERNING THE DEPLOYMENT OF SOLAR ENERGY SOURCES IN THE STATE.

HB 6291 sets a state goal of 500 megawatts of solar photovoltaic electricity generation by 2027. It removes capacity limits on non-residential solar programs, extends the Shared Clean Energy Facility Program, and creates a new Solar Advancement Commission to advise on solar policy. The bill also imposes a uniform tax on large-scale solar installations and simplifies the process for connecting solar facilities to the electrical grid. These changes directly affect solar developers, businesses participating in renewable energy programs, and state energy planning. The law aims to accelerate solar adoption through clearer rules and targeted incentives.
