Business Wire
Altus Power, the largest commercial-scale provider of clean
electric power, today announced the acquisition of a 3.4 MW solar
project from Chaberton Energy, a Maryland-based national renewable
energy project developer, which Altus Power will complete
development of and then construct. Upon completion, the power
generated by the asset, owned and operated by Altus and located in
East New Market, Maryland, will deliver the benefits of clean,
electric power to the local community, through Maryland’s Community
Solar Energy Generating Systems (CSEGS) pilot program.
“We’re proud to be expanding our portfolio in Maryland and
growing our Community Solar subscriber base in the state, enabling
more households to access the benefits of clean, electric power,”
said Abhi Parmar, Chief Investment Officer of Altus Power. “The
Chaberton team’s expertise and vision was instrumental in bringing
this project to fruition, and we look forward to future
collaborations.”
Senake Gajamera, Chaberton Energy's Chief Financial Officer,
said, "In Altus Power we have a partner who shares our goal of
helping communities access local, affordable green energy. We're so
proud to be working with Altus to put more clean power on the grid
for Marylanders."
As part of the development of the project, more than three acres
of land were placed under forest conservation and will be protected
from non-agricultural development, and more than $2 million will be
invested in grid and substation upgrades, resulting in better
electrical reliability for Dorchester County and surrounding
areas.
Upon completion, the clean electric power generated by this
project is expected to benefit more than 380 households,
significantly reducing carbon emissions and contributing to Altus
Power’s commitment to nationwide carbon reduction. Altus Power’s
distributed solar generation systems are at the core of its mission
to support enterprises and individuals in achieving their
sustainability goals.
As a pioneer in Community Solar, Altus Power serves more than
30,000 subscribers nationwide, providing homeowners and renters
from diverse income brackets with the benefits of clean energy
savings—without the need for individual solar installations. To
