SunEdison has completed a 2.5MW solar energy system to supply electricity to the Cecil County School of Technology via a 20 year power purchase agreement. These projects were on the TerraForm Power call right list and have been acquired and are now owned by TerraForm Power.
The Cecil County School of Technology’s solar system is designed to produce more energy than the on-site facility needed. Under aggregated net metering, other buildings owned by the Cecil County Board of Education can share the output of these solar systems, even if they are not physically connected to them or are on a different meter.
“The Cecil County Board of Education is making a smart financial move by leveraging Maryland’s aggregated net metering program to maximize electricity savings across all of their buildings,” said Michael Volpe, Sales Director at SunEdison.
This project was made possible through Maryland's Aggregated Net Metering Program, which is available for municipal institutions, agriculture and non-profits. Through its Renewable Portfolio Standard, the State of Maryland hopes to generate 20 percent of its electricity from renewable sources by 2020.
