More than 2,600 solar panels will be installed on a University of Maryland building this summer, resulting in one of the largest rooftop solar power systems in Maryland.
The University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) was selected as a Maryland Energy Administration Project Sunburst Initiative Partner and awarded a grant aimed at promoting the installation of renewable energy systems on public buildings in Maryland. As a result of a competitive bid process, Washington Gas Energy Services, Inc. (WGES) will finance the remainder of the project cost and UMD will purchase the electricity generated by the solar panels under a 20-year agreement with WGES.
