<p><span data-contrast="none">The University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB) has signed a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with CI Renewables LLC (“CI”), a leading independent developer and owner of large scale commercial and industrial solar power facilities, for the creation of a solar power project that will move the University further toward its goal of a 100% carbon-neutral campus by 2045.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"335557856":16777215,"335559739":240}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="none">The PPA — in which CI will design, finance, install, own, and operate net-metered solar photovoltaic systems on the top level of UMB’s Penn Street Garage and Pearl Garage — will result in the construction of new solar energy facilities which will have a combined capacity of 1,386 kilowatts. The facilities are projected to produce approximately 1,504,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity annually, the equivalent of electricity use in 207 homes for one year.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"335557856":16777215,"335559739":240}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="none">“We’re pleased to announce our first on-site renewable energy installations,” said UMB President </span><strong><span data-contrast="none">Bruce E.

<p><span data-contrast="none">“CI Renewables is excited to partner with UMB in the development of these solar projects. The garage canopy solar arrays will help create a more sustainable campus and get UMB another step closer to achieving their carbon neutrality goals.” said Walter Serafyn, Managing Partner of CI Renewables LLC.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"335557856":16777215,"335559739":240}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="none">UMB Assistant Vice President of Facilities and Operations </span><strong><span data-contrast="none">Anna Borgerding, PMP, </span></strong><span data-contrast="none">added, “This project is just the start of UMB’s sustainability journey.

<p><span data-contrast="none">The solar energy systems will be on UMB-owned property, and UMB will purchase all electricity produced at the sites, paying a per kilowatt hour rate for the electricity generated by the systems, just as it would to any other energy supplier.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"335557856":16777215,"335559739":240}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="none">In addition to the PPA with CI, UMB participates in three PPAs through the University System of Maryland: Pinnacle through US Windforce, St. Mary’s Solar though Constellation, and Roth Rock Phase II through Synergics-SBR. These PPAs help UMB meet the state’s Renewable Portfolio Standards and the requirements under the Climate Solutions Now Act of 2022. Since 2022, the University has also purchased Green-e Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) to cover the remaining portion of its electricity usage, bringing it to 100% renewable electricity.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"335557856":16777215,"335559739":240}"> </span></p>
