Notwithstanding ORS 469.320 and 469.405, the Energy Facility Siting Council may not:

(1) Issue a site certificate for a new generating facility that produces electric power from fossil fuels, including natural gas, petroleum, coal or any form of solid, liquid or gaseous fuel derived from such material, unless the council determines that a new generating facility will generate only nonemitting electricity as defined in ORS 469A.400; or

(2) Approve the amendment of a site certificate for an energy facility described under subsection (1) of this section that was granted prior to September 25, 2021, in a manner that would significantly increase the gross carbon dioxide emissions that are reasonably likely to result from the operation of the energy facility. [2021 c.508 §28]
