As East Windsor continues its fight against a proposed solar farm by Verogy, the West Hartford-based developer has its sights set on Glastonbury for its latest project. The proposed Glastonbury Solar One project at 17 Wickham Road would be a 3-megawatt, alternating current (AC) system that would generate enough electricity to power 778 average homes for a year. Verogy co-founder and Director of Development Bryan Fitzgerald said that the project is estimated to cost between $8.5 million and $9 million. The Glastonbury project would offset the equivalent of 3,998 metric tons of carbon dioxide annually, equal to the emissions from 449,824 gallons of gasoline consumed, Fitzgerald said. The project, if approved by the Connecticut Siting Council, would begin construction in spring 2024 with completion in the fall, according to the project website. If the project gets completed, according to the website, the remainder of the farmland could be used for other purposes.
