The Howard County portfolio includes 19 projects across 11 sites in the region. The project sites are a combination of public and privately owned properties that when combined in a network, support the overall goals of Howard County. 

The Gateway/Ulman Building Roof site system is part of a dual array system, including the Gateway Canopy.  The smallest project in the portfolio, the rooftop ballast mounted system includes 93 panels on the roof of the government owned building.  Work was completed in 2023.

 

Gateway Rooftop System

The Howard County Power Purchase Agreement is the largest of its kind in the state. Through the PPA, CI Renewables will, at no cost to the County, construct, operate, and maintain the solar panels and associated solar energy generation equipment at its sole expense. These solar arrays will be throughout our community on both public and private land. From rooftops to carports to ground mounts, we’re maximizing our ability to capture solar energy at our libraries, firehouses, police stations, our new circuit courthouse and more.
