Governor Signs AB 1156 to Allow Solar on Williamson Act Lands

Original: Governor Signs AB 1156, Opening New Pathways for Solar Development on Williamson Act Lands

California's governor has signed AB 1156 into law, creating new pathways for solar energy development on land enrolled under the Williamson Act, the state's agricultural land preservation program. The bill eases restrictions that previously limited renewable energy projects on contracted farmland, opening more acreage for solar developers while raising questions about balancing clean energy goals with farmland conservation.

Why now: California just enacted the bill, and it affects solar developers, farmers and land-use policy statewide.
