Generally revise laws relating to wind generation facilities

This bill updates Montana's regulations for large wind energy facilities by establishing new height limits and lighting requirements that take effect on January 1, 2026. It defines wind generation facilities as those with a capacity of at least 25 megawatts and restricts new turbine towers to a maximum height of 350 feet, measured from ground level to the center of the rotor hub. Additionally, the legislation mandates that all wind turbines taller than 200 feet must use federal aviation administration-approved aircraft detection lighting systems to improve visibility for pilots. Existing turbines installed before the effective date are exempt from these new height and lighting standards.
