Bill information
Summary
A bill to require assessments of opportunities to install and maintain floating photovoltaic solar panels at Bureau of Reclamation and Corps of Engineers projects, and for other purposes.
Plain-language summary
This bill requires the Bureau of Reclamation and Army Corps of Engineers to study where floating solar panels could be installed on their water projects. Floating solar panels are solar arrays that sit on water surfaces instead of land. The bill directs these federal agencies to assess which reservoirs and dams are suitable for this technology. It also requires them to evaluate the maintenance needs for these systems. The bill was introduced by Senator Angus King and is currently in the early stage of the legislative process.
