BANGOR, Maine (AP) — Maine land-use regulators are hinting that they’ll deny an expedited permit to a Canadian company that wants to build a third array of wind turbines in the western part of the state.

TransCanada already has 44 towers producing power or under construction at Kibby Mountain near Stratton. The company asked the Land Use Regulation Commission to approve a speeded-up permitting process to build 14 more turbines on Sisk Mountain in that region.

While the commission did not formally vote Wednesday, the Bangor Daily News says its members indicated they’ll oppose TransCanada’s expedited permit.

It’s not clear if TransCanada will go through a longer process.
