TotalEnergies announced it completed a 7-MW solar project on a closed landfill in Maryland. The Parkton Landfill now hosts a solar array that will generate about 11% of Baltimore County government’s annual electricity consumption.
“This project shows how Baltimore County can turn yesterday’s challenges into tomorrow’s opportunities,” said County Executive Kathy Klausmeier. “We are cutting costs for taxpayers and making investments that benefit our communities for decades.”
Upon the anticipated completion of the Hernwood Landfill solar project by 2028, the county expects to generate an equivalent of 55% of its electricity production from renewable power.
