Hexagon Energy, behind the Auburn Solar project, “is a small developer based out of Charlottesville, Virginia, drawn to do business in Maine by the recent pro-solar legislation,” according to its application.
The array will take up 18 acres of fields on three leased parcels that total 55 acres behind 1054 North River Road.
It will be at least 400 feet away from North River Road and have a minimal impact on nearby residents, according to the application.
Hexagon hopes to finish construction by the end of the year, though utility delays could push it into 2022.
