The project would be the largest PV facility in New England.

The deal between Loring Development Authority and Ranger will allow it to locate the project on 600 acres (2.4 sq km) of land at Loring Commercial Centre near the town of Limestone, Maine.

Ranger says the site at the former Loring Air Force Base, which closed in 1994, is ideal for solar because of the large tracts of open and previously developed land in close proximity to existing electrical and other support infrastructure.
