Description
Description | A controversial 30-acre, 4.9999 megawatt solar power project in Lowell, Vermont. The project has faced local opposition due to concerns about loss of prime agricultural land and limited financial benefits to the town. The Lowell Selectboard sought $50,000 to pay for legal representation to challenge the project at the Public Utility Commission (PUC) hearings. The project is regulated under Vermont's Act 248, which gives the PUC decision-making authority. The local vote on funding legal opposition resulted in an 86-86 tie, leaving the project's future uncertain. |
