Chaberton Energy has started construction on a new 2.9 megawatts (MWdc) community solar project in Fulton, Howard County, Md.
The Lime Kiln solar project, developed by Chaberton Energy, is owned and operated by Pivot Energy, a renewable energy power producer.
The Lime Kiln community solar project will be part of the Maryland Community Solar program, enabling area residents and businesses to subscribe to it. It will provide lower-cost electricity to residents across all incomes who want to gain access to clean energy.
The project will produce more than 4.6 million kilowatt hours of electricity annually to power 400 homes. The environmental impact of this clean energy project is equivalent to removing nearly 800 gas-powered cars off the road.
“The project helps to advance our Howard County Climate Forward plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 60 percent by 2030 and achieve net zero by 2045,” said Howard County Executive Dr. Calvin B. Ball.
Project Lime Kiln is expected to be operational in the first half of 2025.
Chaberton is a leading Maryland-based community solar developer with more than 200 megawatts of community solar projects in the state in operations, construction or active development.
