FairwindCT, Inc. v. Connecticut Siting Council

Summary

The court affirmed dismissal of challenges to approvals for two wind-turbine projects. It held that the Siting Council had jurisdiction because wind turbines are electric-generating facilities, that the Council could approve projects notwithstanding noncompliance with state noise regulations, and that the approvals and imposed conditions were supported by the record. The court also concluded that any procedural deficiencies concerning evidence, cross-examination, sealed materials, or continuances were harmless. No separate opinions were issued.
