Wind energy facilities; prohibiting construction of wind energy facilities within certain distance of adjacent properties; effective date.
HB 1156 sets new distance requirements for wind energy facility construction in Oklahoma. It prohibits building wind towers within 1.5 nautical miles of airport runways (public or municipal), public schools, or hospitals, and within 0.5 miles of adjacent property lines. The bill also requires wind projects needing FAA Form 7460-1 to obtain a "Determination of No Hazard" from the FAA and resolve military impact concerns before construction, with penalties of up to $1,500 per day for non-compliance. The law takes effect November 1, 2025, directly affecting wind energy developers, landowners, and military installations near proposed sites.
