Constellation and the Archdiocese of Baltimore announced the construction of a 5.4-megawatt (DC) aggregate solar generation project. The solar power system, located at Perryman Station in Harford County, Md., is expected to generate enough electricity to meet approximately 20 percent of the Archdiocese’s electricity needs.

Constellation said that the project expands Constellation’s role as the No. 1 solar energy producer in Maryland. The company operates more than 35 megawatts of solar projects in the state and expects to have an additional 25 megawatts operational by the end of 2015.

The project required no upfront capital from the Archdiocese. Constellation will own and operate the solar power system. The Archdiocese will purchase the electricity generated by the solar panels from Constellation under a 20-year power purchase agreement

The solar power system will be composed of approximately 17,700 photovoltaic panels and is expected to generate approximately 7.2 million kilowatt-hours of electricity in the first year.

Constellation currently owns and operates more than 250 megawatts of solar installations that have been completed or are under construction for commercial and government customers throughout the United States.
