Amp Energy’s Solar Farm Deal Finally Sees Sunshine

February 9, 2023 by l

 
“Four years and many meetings ago, Amp Energy proposed a large solar farm for 18 wooded acres off Cotuit Road in South Sandwich.

This month, the unusual project received the last of the many permits and permissions it needs to move ahead.

“It has survived the rigors of the regulatory process,” Assistant Town Manager Heather B. Harper said.

The selectmen unanimously voted in favor of the project at their February 2 meeting.

Cotuit Solar farm also received a unanimous nod from the planning board this week for a decommissioning agreement—a state-required breakdown of labor and equipment costs for building a ground-mounted solar photovoltaic installation.

“It’s been a four-year process,” Mathew Terry, local attorney for the project, said in a telephone interview this week. “We’ve had 13 public hearings during the long, thorough process. We’ll be glad to see the groundbreaking.”

Land clearing has begun. Once the solar farm is up and running, town and state officials will make the final inspections and give, or withhold, the final clearances, Mr. Terry said.”
