Operators of large power facilities (those using at least 20 megawatts of electricity) must now obtain conditional use permits from neighboring counties or cities if the facility is located within one mile of their boundary and those neighbors have zoning rules in place. This is a new requirement that gives adjacent counties and municipalities a say in approving major energy projects near their borders, even if the facility itself is located in a different jurisdiction.
