PSC 128.19(1)(a)(a) An owner of a wind energy system shall decommission and remove the wind energy system when the system is at the end of its useful life. PSC 128.19(1)(b)(b) A wind energy system is presumed to be at the end of its useful life if the wind energy system generates no electricity for a continuous 360-day period. This presumption may be rebutted under par. (c). PSC 128.19(1)(c)(c) Upon application by the owner, and except as provided in par. (d), a political subdivision shall grant an extension of the time period for returning the wind energy system to service by one or more additional 180 day periods if the owner demonstrates it is likely the wind energy system will operate again in the future and any of the following occur: PSC 128.19(1)(c)1.1. The owner submits a plan to the political subdivision that demonstrates an ongoing good faith effort to return the wind energy system to service and outlines the steps and schedule for returning the wind energy system to service in a reasonable period of time, including by repairing, replacing or repowering the wind energy system facilities as necessary to generate electricity. PSC 128.19(1)(c)2.2. The owner demonstrates that the wind energy system is part of a prototype or other demonstration project being used for ongoing research or development purposes. PSC 128.19(1)(c)3.3. The owner demonstrates that the wind energy system is being used for educational purposes. PSC 128.19(1)(d)(d) A political subdivision may deny a request for an extension under par. (c) if the wind energy system has not generated any electricity for a continuous period of 540 days or more and the political subdivision finds that the owner is not capable of returning the wind energy system to service within a reasonable period of time. PSC 128.19(1)(e)(e) A wind energy system is irrebuttably presumed to be at the end of its useful life if the wind energy system generates no electricity for a period of 540 days and any of the following occur: PSC 128.19(1)(e)1.1. The owner does not request an extension of the time period for returning the wind energy system to service under par. (c).
