Marshall County commissioners have passed new ordinances that permanently prohibit carbon capture projects and limit the size of solar installations. The solar rules ban large scale farms that span multiple properties, though they allow individual owners to install up to five acres of panels on a single parcel. These moves follow a series of restrictive measures in the county, including a ban on data centers and increased setback requirements for battery energy storage systems. The latest action removes previous moratorium language to make the carbon capture ban permanent.
