Moscow residents approve ban on commercial solar farms

MORNING SENTINEL • December 1, 2023

Residents at a special town meeting Thursday voted to prohibit commercial solar farms, opting to go a step further than many other towns in central Maine when it comes to restricting the development of large solar projects. Moscow joins a growing list of Maine municipalities that have passed measureslimiting or temporarily prohibiting solar farms. But it is unclear if any other places have adopted permanent bans like Moscow’s. What’s also unclear is if the ordinance is even legal.
