Frederick County is hoping to let the sun shine in on its energy policy by seeking assistance from the Maryland Energy Administration to install solar collection systems on county buildings.
This would not only allow the county to save on energy bills; but would allow a private developer to install and retain ownership of the system, said Hilari Varnadore, director of the county’s Office of Environmental Sustainability.
The Frederick County Commissioners last week approved a letter of interest to the state energy office that would allow the sustainability office to pursue the initiative, also known as Project Sunburst.
