Guest column: What would Shutesbury get in return for this deal? AP FILE PHOTO/SUSAN MONTOYA BRYAN By ROBERT E. SELETSKY Print AMP Energy, a Canadian solar developer, plans to build five large-scale industrial solar installations in Shutesbury on forest land leased from W.D. Cowls Inc. The project would involve the clear-cutting of about 190 acres, producing electrical generation for “the grid” — not specifically Shutesbury. AMP wants the town to “partner” with it, by which AMP gains “public entity” status, enabling their receipt of millions in Solar Massachusetts Renewable Target (SMART) funding, and subjects them to environmental regulations only after receiving those subsidies.
