Broad Street Realty inaugurated a 2.4 MW(dc) rooftop solar project at its Cromwell Shopping Center in Glen Burnie, Maryland. The 233,000-square-foot shopping center anchored by an AutoZone mega hub and a Roses is hosting the solar project, which produces enough electricity to power over 1,000 homes in BG&E service territory in Maryland. The ballasted racking system is covered by 4,380 solar panels.
Centennial Generating Company developed the project, which was built by Halo, a solar engineering contractor; AccelDev served as development capital financing. The project will be owned and operated by Madison Energy Infrastructure.
“The net-zero transition requires deep collaboration across value chains,” said Michael Jacoby, Broad Street Chairman and CEO. “We are excited to be partnering with Centennial and MEI to decarbonize the Cromwell Shopping Center, advancing our goal to reduce emissions throughout Broad Street’s portfolio supporting our ESG initiatives.”
“The solar project at Cromwell Shopping Center demonstrates how commercial real estate owners can implement solar projects with a clear and measurable benefit to their bottom line while achieving sustainability targets,” said David John Frenkil, founder and managing principal of Centennial.
