Chaberton Energy begins construction on Howard County community solar project
Rockville-based Chaberton Energy Tuesday announced construction has started on a new 2.9 megawatts (MWdc) community solar project in Fulton.
The Lime Kiln solar project was developed by Chaberton and is owned and operated by Pivot Energy, a national renewable energy independent 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. When completed, it will provide lower-cost electricity to residents across all incomes who want to gain access to clean energy but may not be able to install solar panels on their own property.
The project will produce more than 4.6 million kilowatt hours of electricity annually, which is enough energy to power approximately 400 homes. The environmental impact of this clean energy project is equivalent to removing nearly 800 gas-powered cars off the road.
Project Lime Kiln is expected to be operational in the first half of 2025.
