An Act amending Title 27 (Environmental Resources) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in environmental protection, providing for decommissioning of solar energy facilities.

HB 1080 requires solar energy facility operators (grantees) in Pennsylvania to plan and fund the removal and land restoration of solar farms after operations end. It mandates that facility owners submit detailed decommissioning plans and proof of financial assurance to county recorders at specific intervals: 10% of estimated costs 30 days before construction begins, then 40% at 10 years, and 60% at 15 years (adjusted for salvage value). The bill ensures funds are available to cover removal costs, with third-party engineers verifying estimates every five years. These requirements apply to all new solar energy facility agreements executed after the law's effective date, directly affecting solar developers and landowners leasing property for solar installations.
