Requires the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to apply to qualifying small power production facilities using solar energy as the primary energy source the same rules the Commission has prescribed for qualifying small power production facilities using geothermal energy as the primary energy source (thus raising from 30 megawatts to 80 megawatts the size of such facilities that are exempt from certain Federal and State regulations).
Authorizes the Commission to treat such solar facilities differently by regulation from geothermal facilities if it determines that such different treatment encourages the development of solar or geothermal facilities.
