Wind energy facilities; providing setback requirements for wind towers; establishing decibel limits for nonparticipating properties. Emergency.

This bill sets new setback requirements for wind energy facilities in Oklahoma. It requires wind towers to be at least 2,000 feet or five times the blade length (whichever is greater) from residential properties and nonparticipating properties, effective June 2025. It also establishes a 40-decibel maximum noise limit at property lines for nonparticipating properties. These changes directly affect wind energy developers constructing new facilities and nearby residents or property owners.
