HB 1450 Oklahoma House · 2026 Regular Session

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

HB 1450 places an indefinite moratorium on constructing or expanding new wind and utility-scale solar energy facilities in Oklahoma, affecting all new projects and expansions by state agencies and political subdivisions. The bill exempts facilities already permitted, approved by regional transmission organizations, and operational before the bill's passage, as well as existing operational facilities. It declares an emergency to take immediate effect upon passage, halting all new renewable energy infrastructure development while allowing current projects to continue. The measure directly impacts developers planning new wind or solar projects but does not alter existing operational facilities.
