HB 1895 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the operation or expansion of a wind-powered generation facility.

HB 1895 requires electric cooperatives, utilities, and power companies to prove a wind-powered generation facility meets aviation safety standards before operation or expansion. Specifically, they must submit documentation showing the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) confirms the facility isn’t a flight hazard and the Military Aviation Clearinghouse (or successor) confirms it won’t harm military operations - either directly or through a mitigation agreement. Violations could result in administrative penalties for cooperatives or municipally owned utilities. The law applies only to new wind facilities installed on or after September 1, 2025, leaving existing facilities under prior rules.
