A renewable energy company has proposed a 12,000-panel solar farm on Lantern Hill Road. The proposal before the Connecticut Siting Council, by North Haven-based Greenskies Clean Energy, LLC, would transform 28 acres near the border of Ledyard into a 4.99-megawatt solar energy farm. Such a farm would produce enough electricity to power about 700 homes per day, according to data from the Solar Energies Industry Association. According to plans submitted to the Connecticut Siting Council, the project would consist of almost 12,000 solar panels across 458 rows with 26 panels per row surrounded by a seven-foot-high fence. Under state law, the siting council has jurisdiction over siting, construction, and operation of solar farms. The project has received a 20-year power purchase agreement from the state’s Shared Clean Energy Program.
