Solar project proposed for Kennebec County could power 30,000 homes

BANGOR DAILY NEWS • February 8, 2022

A solar power array proposed to be built in Unity Township, Clinton and Benton would cover almost 700 acres and generate enough electricity to power 30,000 homes. The $200 million Three Corners Solar project, which is still seeking its federal, state and local permits, is being developed by Boston-based Longroad Energy. The 110-megawatt project would produce energy by using ground-mounted solar panels to track the sun.
