Avon-based Lodestar Energy LLC is seeking approval from the Connecticut Siting Council to build the energy-generating facility on three parcels on the east side of Raddia Road. Although the town’s Planning and Zoning Commission does not have jurisdiction, it was notified of the project during a meeting earlier this month. The project includes an electrical service connection from an existing Eversource distribution system along the west side of Raffia Road, and six new utility poles. Construction is expected to take six to nine months once permits are obtained, and the developer hopes to begin construction this spring. The council has until March 7 to take action, and a deadline of July 5 to make a decision.
