The Planning Board unanimously approved a $17.6 million solar project this week, 45 acres of panels over 142.7 acres, laid out to dodge wetlands and feed 14.6 megawatts into the grid to Central Maine Power. The project by BD Solar Auburn is pending approval by the Poland Planning Board, Maine Department of Environmental Protection and the Army Corps of Engineers. About two-thirds of the property, off of Lewiston Junction Road, is in Auburn, one-third in Poland.
