Moratorium-solar and wind projects.
SF 183 imposes a temporary ban on initiating or expanding new solar and wind energy facilities in Wyoming, effective immediately until June 30, 2030. The bill prohibits new projects but explicitly excludes existing facilities, net metering systems, and projects that received final county approval before specific dates. Key provisions include defining "solar energy facility" and "wind energy facility" while requiring conforming changes to related statutes about permits, eminent domain, and land-use regulations. This policy change directly affects developers, energy companies, and local governments planning new renewable energy infrastructure within the state.
