Purpose of the Bill

The purpose of this bill is to set an expiration date for the community solar garden program in Minnesota. This establishes a definitive end to the program, allowing for potential reevaluation or replacement with alternative energy initiatives.

Main Provisions

• Sunset Clause: The bill introduces a sunset provision to the existing community solar garden program. This means the program will formally conclude on July 31, 2028.

Significant Changes to Existing Law

• Expiration of Program: Previously without a specified end date, the community solar garden program will now end, as designated by the sunset clause. This represents a shift in how the state will manage or transition its community solar efforts in the future.
