The bill amends the Oklahoma Wind Energy Development Act, specifically 17 O.S. 2021, Section 160.14, which governs the decommissioning of wind energy facilities. It establishes that the owner of a wind energy facility is responsible for the proper decommissioning of the facility upon abandonment or at the end of the useful life of the commercial wind energy equipment. The bill outlines the requirements for decommissioning, including the removal of various components of the facility and the restoration of the land to its original condition, unless otherwise specified by the landowner.

Significantly, the bill modifies the timeline for decommissioning by changing the requirement from "within twelve (12) months after abandonment" to "at the end of the useful life of the commercial wind energy equipment." Additionally, if the owner fails to complete the decommissioning at the end of the useful life, the Corporation Commission is authorized to take necessary measures to ensure decommissioning is completed. The bill is set to take effect on November 1, 2026.
