House Bill No. by Representative Coates aims to establish requirements for the recycling of decommissioned renewable energy infrastructure in Louisiana. The bill enacts a new section, R.S. 30:1121, which mandates that any decommissioning plan for renewable energy facilities must include provisions for recycling component parts to the extent practicable, as determined by the Department of Environmental Quality. Additionally, the costs associated with decommissioning, including recycling, are to be borne by the renewable energy facility owner.

The bill also directs the Louisiana State Law Institute to redesignate the headings of existing provisions related to batteries, wind energy, and solar power generation facilities to reflect the new structure. Specifically, it changes the part heading of R.S. 30:1131 from "PART I. BATTERIES" to "PART II. BATTERIES," R.S. 30:1141 from "PART II. WIND ENERGY" to "PART III. WIND ENERGY," and R.S. 30:1142 from "PART III. SOLAR POWER GENERATION FACILITIES" to "PART IV. SOLAR POWER GENERATION FACILITIES."
