Relates to prohibiting the location of wind turbines on Lake Erie
Bill A 2553 proposes to prohibit the construction and operation of wind turbines in Lake Erie within the state's jurisdiction and control. The bill amends both the public service law and the environmental conservation law. These changes would prevent state regulatory boards and departments from granting certificates or permits for any wind turbine projects in Lake Erie. This effectively creates a legal barrier to offshore wind development in that specific body of water.
