PROJECT OVERVIEW


CPV Backbone Solar (CPV Backbone) is located on a recently decommissioned coal mining site and is the largest solar project under development in western Maryland. The project’s 200-MWdc capacity will power more than 30,000 homes—more than twice the county—and avoid over 200,000 tons of CO2 per year by displacing older, less efficient generation while adding diversity to the region’s energy mix. CPV Backbone will employ 140-180 workers during construction and will bring significant tax benefits to Garrett County.
