Small renewable energy projects; agrivoltaics definition.

The document header was updated from 'HOUSE SUBSTITUTE' to 'ENROLLED', indicating the bill has passed all legislative stages and is now law.

A chapter title was added to formally identify the act within the Virginia Acts of Assembly.

Minor formatting adjustments were made to the section headers, such as adding a non-breaking space before the section number.

The definition of 'agrivoltaics' was expanded to include six specific criteria, requiring provisions for decommissioning to protect land resources, ensuring the project is consistent with commercial agriculture, and confirming it does not significantly displace farming activity.

The definition of 'small renewable energy project' was updated to include 'dedicated associated interconnection facilities' for all types of generation facilities (solar, wind, water, etc.) and energy storage, clarifying that the infrastructure connecting these projects to the grid counts toward the project's classification.

The definition of 'agrivoltaics' was refined to specify that the agricultural products produced must be 'marketable' and that the project must be part of a farm business consistent with 'commercial agricultural production,' raising the bar for what qualifies as a legitimate agrivoltaic operation.

The specific exclusion stating that agrivoltaics does not include projects that replace the farmer's primary income was removed, likely because the new, stricter criteria regarding commercial consistency and displacement of farming activity now address this concern.

Added a new definition for 'interconnection facilities' covering generation tie lines, collector lines, substations, and switching stations required to connect to the grid.

Modified the definition of 'small renewable energy project' to include 'and its dedicated associated interconnection facilities' in all capacity limits (sunlight/wind, water/tides/geothermal, biomass, and energy storage).
