Constellation Developing Two Solar Projects for Md. Agencies
Constellation Energy
will develop a 750-kilowatt on-site solar installation at Anne Arundel County's Combined
Support Services Complex in Millersville, Md., and a 500 kilowatt on-site solar installation
at Coppin State University in Baltimore. Both projects are funded, in part, by grants
through the Maryland Energy Administration's Project Sunburst initiative, which promotes
the installation of large-scale solar photovoltaic energy systems on state buildings.
Constellation Energy will finance as well as own and operate the on-site solar installations.
In return, both organizations will purchase the electricity produced by the systems
at a reduced cost from Constellation Energy over a 20-year period.

among other things, applying the mechanism to the utilities only, and not electric
service providers, is inconsistent with SB 695's requirement that utilities and ESPs
be subject to the same compliance obligations.
