CPV Renewable Energy Co. (CPV REC) is developing a 10 MW solar farm in southern Maryland to be co-located with the proposed natural gas combined-cycle CPV St. Charles Energy Center.
Named the CPV Piney Reach Solar Farm, the planned facility will begin permitting immediately and is expected to be in service by 2012.
Co-locating the solar farm with a natural gas generator marries the environmental attributes of renewable electricity production with the controllability and low emissions rates of natural gas generation to yield clean, low-emission electricity that is available whenever the public demands, the company notes.
