A 1-megawatt solar farm that will provide electricity to 15 local businesses opened in Norway on Wednesday, a day after lawmakers debated whether to scale back the incentives that led to it. New York-based UGE International owns the solar farm, which is built atop a former landfill owned by the western Maine town. The project is part of Maine’s net energy billing program, which was the main reason for the latest round of sharp rate hikes at Central Maine Power and Versant Power.
