CPV Backbone Solar

PROJECT OVERVIEW

CPV Backbone Solar (CPV Backbone) is located on a recently decommissioned coal mining site and is the largest solar project under development in western Maryland. The project’s 200-MWdc capacity will power more than 30,000 homes—more than twice the county—and avoid over 200,000 tons of CO₂ per year by displacing older, less efficient generation while adding diversity to the region’s energy mix. CPV Backbone will employ 140-180 workers during construction and will bring significant tax benefits to Garrett County.
