The town of New Milford has filed a petition with the Connecticut Siting Council urging them to deny the development and management plan for the Candlewood Mountain Solar project.  If the plan is approved, construction can then begin.  Ameresco plans to generate about 20 megawatts of power to feed into the New England power grid via the Rocky River substation.  New Milford is also asking that the Siting Council extend its 60 day deadline so a hearing or other proceedings can be scheduled.  Mayor Pete Bass also challenged the stormwater management plan with the state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection.
