Jones Farm Solar is sited on a remote parcel of land with existing natural buffers. The design of the project incorporates wildlife corridors throughout, encouraging the natural habitat to thrive when construction is completed. The solar facility is located in Queen Anne’s County and will be interconnected to an existing Del Marva Power & Light 69kV transmission line on site.
Jones Farm Solar is under construction.
Please join us on Thursday, September 12th from 6:00 to 8:00 PM at the Sudlersville Park Pavilion to meet members of the Urban Grid team and our partners for the project. This event is a chance for local businesses to find out how to bid on construction-related RFPs that will be forthcoming, as well as local hiring opportunities for anyone in the construction, electrical, and engineering trades. As the event will be an “Open House” style, we encourage everyone to visit each station and speak with subject matter experts about Jones Farm Solar. We kindly ask you to RSVP here.
What does this project mean for you and your community?
Over its lifetime, Jones Farm Solar will pay millions of dollars in tax revenues to Queen Anne's County. That's 35 years of guaranteed revenue from a project that does not require costly infrastructure, public services or increase traffic. Further, during construction, the project will require hundreds of workers on site, which will provide an economic boost to area businesses and service providers.
Home-grown solar is vital to bolstering Queen Anne's County's grid resilience and enables Maryland to meet its target of 50% renewable energy by 2030 and 100% clean electricity by 2040 with zero carbon emissions. The transition to clean energy is powered by strong communities whose landowners, local businesses, and citizens recognize their critical role in making it happen.
Jones Farm Solar allows the local community to preserve large, open tracts of land that can be used for future generations when the solar facility is removed at the end of its useful life. During the life of Jones Farm Solar, wildlife corridors, pollinators, and other habitat-nurturing features will enable nature to continue to thrive, optimizing our mission as stewards of the land.
