Plainfield energy proposal moves into a public-hearing process
A proposed 45-megawatt trash-to-energy facility is seeking state permission, and the Siting Council has granted requests for a public hearing. A procedural Zoom meeting on September 17 sets the schedule and handles intervenor requests.
SMART Technology Systems is seeking state permission for a proposed 45-megawatt trash-to-energy facility on six O&G Industries parcels in Plainfield. The Connecticut Siting Council granted requests for a public hearing, but it had not published that hearing's date by September 14. A Council Zoom meeting on Thursday, September 17, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. will address scheduling and party or intervenor requests; that meeting is procedural, not the public hearing or a project approval.
