The Connecticut Siting Council has held a hearing about the proposed Candlewood Mountain solar farm. Ameresco wants to install a 20-megawatt solar farm in New Milford, a smaller proposal that originally submitted. Having higher wattage panels means less are needed according to Ameresco. There are concerns about wetlands, erosion and fire suppression. The Siting Council will hold another hearing on the proposal November 14th at their offices in New Britain.
