HARTFORD – State lawmakers who say they’ve heard from constituents about incessant noise from large solar projects are pushing for more local control of where those projects can be built.
“(Communities) have no authority when noise becomes a burden,” said state Rep. Jaime Foster, D‑Ellington.
Foster, other lawmakers, and local officials have been dealing with complaints from neighbors of a solar array in East Windsor for years. Among the issues, they say, is that municipalities have no ability to limit when a project can be built. That power rests with the Connecticut Siting Council.
“The problem is that it is an overreach by the state,” said Rep. Carol Hall, R‑Enfield. “Local municipalities can’t regulate (where solar projects are built), They have zero control and say.”
