The headquarters of the Maryland Environmental Service will benefit from a solar panel array that will be the first of kind for a state agency, Gov. Martin O’Malley said at a groundbreaking event for the array Tuesday.
The Millersville agency in Anne Arundel County works with government and private partners to conserve the state’s air, land and water resources.

The 300-kilowatt, $2 million array will be built, paid for and operated by Constellation Energy’s Projects and Services Group, which will sell electricity generated back to the agency under a 15-year agreement.
“Maryland is quickly emerging as a national leader in renewable energy, and with projects like this one at Maryland Environmental Service, we will move forward toward making our state a model for the rest of the country,” O’Malley said in a statement.
