A Connecticut commodities company is formalizing plans
to build a solar-panel array large enough to double the state's capacity
to generate power from the sun.
Freepoint Commodities, headquartered in Stamford,
Connecticut, has a contract to lease or purchase more than 400 acres that
are mostly farmland in southern New Castle County. It wants to turn that land
into the state's largest array of solar panels.
Peter Ford, managing director for Freepoint, declined to
identify the exact parcels under contract.
