Dirigo Solar has proposed a solar project, which would be built on top of the closed Skowhegan landfill at 29 Transfer Station Drive. Bob Cleaves, CEO of Dirigo Solar, said, “Closed landfills are a great home for solar. You can’t do anything on a closed landfill other than look at it. For certain landfills that have the right topography, the right grade and are close enough to electrical infrastructure, it makes a lot of sense.” The Skowhegan Landfill Solar project anticipates a 2-megawatt solar farm on approximately 10 acres of land.
