Commercial operations have commenced at GS Power Partners’ (GSPP) Dorsey Run Solar, a rooftop solar array hosted on an industrial building in Maryland, owned by an account managed by Principal Asset Management. Black Bear Energy facilitated the project in partnership with GSPP, from concept to commissioning.
“Dorsey Run Solar represents a number of important milestones for GSPP. It was our first project in Maryland, and marks over 8 MW of installed solar in collaboration with Black Bear Energy. Additionally, it underscores the strength of our long-term partnership with Neighborhood Sun,” said Amanda Zurla, chief development officer of GS Power Partners.
In addition to supplying low-cost renewable power to households in the region, Dorsey Run contributes to Maryland’s Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) Program, established in 2004 to capture the economic, environmental, fuel diversity and security benefits of renewable energy. Maryland’s RPS Program mandates that by 2030, 50% of the state’s power must come from renewable generation sources.
“This partnership demonstrates how our collaborative business model successfully brings clean and affordable renewable energy to underserved populations in Maryland. We are looking forward to announcing additional projects in the future,” said Drew Torbin, founder and president of Black Bear Energy.
Solar Landscape was the project’s EPC provider. Neighborhood Sun provides the community solar subscriber management services to local households, many of which are low- and moderate-income residents who will receive a discount on their electricity.
