Idaho Bills

Adds to existing law to provide a decommissioning bond for wind turbines within the State of Idaho.

This legislation adds a new section in Chapter 23 Title 67- 67-2362 Wind Energy Development Decommissioning. This ensures that wind turbine sites in Idaho are properly decommissioned at the end of their useful life or upon abandonment. It prevents landowners and the State from bearing the financial burden of removing wind energy infrastructure. This creates a financial assurance system (decommissioning deposit) to fund the removal and land restoration process.
