Bill overview
The SHINE Act of 2026 aims to make it easier to install renewable energy systems like solar panels and batteries by streamlining the permitting process. The Secretary of Energy will create a program to help local governments – authorities having jurisdiction – develop and adopt a simplified, online permitting system for these systems. This includes providing technical assistance, training, and potentially awarding prizes for successful implementation, with an initial appropriation of $20 million per year for the next four years.
