Renewable energy facilities; placing a moratorium on construction or expansion of certain wind and solar energy facilities in this state; emergency.

HB 1450 imposes an indefinite moratorium on constructing or expanding new wind and utility-scale solar energy facilities in Oklahoma. It directly affects developers seeking new projects and state agencies responsible for permitting such facilities. The bill prohibits all state agencies, boards, or political subdivisions from approving new construction or expansion, with two key exceptions: projects already permitted, approved by the Regional Transmission Organization, and operational before the bill's passage, and existing operational facilities. The moratorium takes immediate effect upon passage due to an emergency declaration.
