The Anne Arundel County Department of Public Works has added a new 1.3 megawatt (MW) photovoltaic panel system at their Utility Operations Complex in Millersville, Maryland. The system includes 1,532 solar modules on existing building roofs, 1,400 solar modules on new parking lot canopies, and other necessary improvements to support the system. The system will be interconnected to the Baltimore Gas and Electric (BGE) electrical grid and provide an estimated 95% of the annual electricity demand for the facility. The project supports the County’s goal of pursuing more sustainable and renewable energy production methods.
