One of the major rooftop installations in Maryland and the instantaneous solar project suitable for McCormick by Constellation Energy, McCormick's Belcamp installation brings the company's personage expense of hosted solar power statewide to around 3 megawatts. In delayed 2008, the companies brought a around 1-megawatt solar installation online at McCormick's Flavor Toil in Hope Ratify, Md.

Generating that identical expense of electricity using nonrenewable sources would shrewdness in the distinct of treat than 1,600 metric loads of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, and the copy of the emissions from treat than 300 passenger vehicles annually, according to US Biological Protection Corporation corroborate.
Constellation Energy instantly owns and operates going on for 95 megawatts of solar installations that carry been complete or are under construction for patrons on all sides of the Joint States.
