Whitefield residents reject solar moratorium

KENNEBEC JOURNAL • March 21, 2022

Whitefield voters at the annual Town Meeting this past weekend voted down a proposed moratorium on commercial solar development. The proposal was to temporarily ban any new solar energy commercial or community developments for 180 days, to give the Planning Board time to write an ordinance regulating such commercial developments. The moratorium would not have applied to solar panel collection systems of individuals on their own property for personal use.
