Forum held on controversial solar farm planned for Stonington

Mar 4, 2026 | Uncategorized

Stonington — When Linda Talerico began hearing last fall that a large solar installation could be built across from her Pequot Trail home, she said the lack of clear information was what concerned her most. “I think sometimes people don’t understand the process,” Talerico said Sunday after hosting a public forum at the Stonington police station. “So at least now we have some information.” The town’s Planning and Zoning Department received a notice that a California-affiliated solar developer was pursuing a 4.2-megawatt solar array at 580 Pequot Trail. Talerico organized the meeting after learning that TRITEC Energy Development LLC had notified the town on Oct. 6, 2025, of the solar project proposal at that location, as part of a Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) request for proposals for zero-carbon energy. According to a letter sent by Attorney Paul R. Michaud on behalf of TRITEC, the project remains in the early development stages. If selected by DEEP, the project would then require review and approval from the Connecticut Siting Council.
