Old New Windsor
New Windsor, Md. | 2.7 MW | BG&E
The Old New Windsor Solar Project on Fritz Family Farm turned 12 low-yield acres of their grain, hay and cattle farm into productive acreage once again. For the Fritz family, the solar development will produce 4,000 MWh annually from single axis trackers. This creates a steady source of income for their farm — a critical consideration in these days of wildly fluctuating commodity prices — by selling the power to an off-site offtaker. In this case, WSSC Water, one of the largest water and wastewater utilities in the nation, will be purchasing the power produced by the Fritz Family Farm project. The expectation is that the power will help WSSC meet its own internal sustainability goals as well as providing additional value to their Maryland customers.
