OH SB289

Amends sections 3706.25 and 4928.01 of the Revised Code to add definitions for "air contaminant source," "cogeneration technology," and modify the definition of "renewable energy resource."

Includes cogeneration technology as a renewable energy resource when it uses waste or byproduct gas from an air contaminant source that has been operating since on or before January 1, 1985, provided the facility was placed into service by December 31, 2015.

Requires that more than 90 percent of the total annual energy input for the cogeneration technology must come from combustion of waste or byproduct gas from an air contaminant source located in Ohio.

Limits eligibility to cogeneration technology facilities located in a county with a population between 365,000 and 370,000 according to the most recent federal decennial census.

Modifies the definition of "cogeneration technology" in advanced energy resource provisions to mean technology that produces electricity and useful thermal output simultaneously, removing prior language specifying "distributed generation system."
