Plainfield 23-Acre Solar Array

planned

New Leaf Energy plans to develop a 23-acre solar array at 66 North Union St. in Plainfield. The project involves clearing approximately 30 acres of trees, installing photovoltaic panels, and includes a 75-foot boundary around the perimeter. The solar farm aims to provide clean energy, potentially benefit residents through a Community Solar program, and contribute tax revenue to the town over 20 years. The project also includes pollinator seed mixes under the panels and involves training for the local fire department on battery fire safety.
