BANGOR DAILY NEWS • September 18, 2024

The moratorium on medium- and large-scale solar energy system development in Trenton has been extended another 180 days. The decision came in a quick 10-minute meeting of Trenton’s select board on Tuesday night. The current solar moratorium expires Oct. 5. It was extended for another 180 days or until the town adopts an amendment dealing with solar developments. Three solar farms are in process already under the town’s existing ordinance. Their combined land use is approximately 60 acres.
