A Boston-based renewable energy company has announced plans to build a $190 million solar project on land in Unity Township, Benton and Clinton. The Three Corners Solar Project, developed by Longroad Energy, would cover 700 acres featuring ground mounted single axis solar panels that track the sun during the day to produce energy. The project has been in the works since 2017. If it’s approved by the Maine Public Utilities Commission and the Maine Department of Environmental Protection, construction will begin in 2021 and operations will begin in 2022, according to Matt Kearns, chief development officer for Longroad.
