Morgnec Solar enables the development of a new domestic, clean energy source produced locally on Maryland’s Eastern Shore. The project poses no material impact to wetlands, cultural resources or threatened and endangered species and will yield significant Real Property Tax revenue for Kent County over its lifetime.
Morgnec Solar is pending permitting and approval.
What does this project mean for you and your community?
Over its lifetime, Morgnec Solar will yield significant real property tax revenues to Kent County. That's 25-35 years of guaranteed revenue from a project that does not require costly infrastructure or public services or an increase in local 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 Kent 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.
Morgnec Solar has been designed to mitigate any material impact to wetlands, cultural resources, or threatened and endangered species. In addition, the project fencing is designed to accommodate the migration and movement of local wildlife. A native vegetative buffer will provide screening of the project for residents and along thoroughfares.
