A solar project has been proposed on land off McLam Lane

BARNET — A solar project has been proposed on land off McLam Lane. Notice of the proposed solar installation by Barnet Solar LLC of Manchester Center, Vt., was made to the Barnet Select Board in a letter received earlier this month. The letter was also sent to the town’s Planning Commission and to the Northeastern Vermont Development Association. According to the pre-petition notice for the 999 kilowatt solar project, Barnet Solar has an option to purchase the site in question. The firm is owned by MHG Solar LLC, which the notice stated has developed a number of solar projects in southwestern Vermont. The notice informed town officials that Barnet Solar is preparing to file an application for a Certificate of Public Good with the Vermont Public Utility Commission. The electricity from the Project will be delivered to Green Mountain Power.
