GOLDSBORO, MD– Maryland's Public Service Commission announced two upcoming public hearings will gather input on a proposed solar generating facility.
Halo GB2 LLC is looking to build a 4.5 megawatt Community Solar Generating Facility on approximately 34 acres of an 83-acre property off Henderson Road.
The company's application says electricity will be allocated to Community Solar Subscribers in Delmarva Power's service area.
