Union Electric Is Making Ravens’ Solar Project A Reality

Posted on by

 

It made headlines last summer when the Baltimore Ravens announced their plans to partner with Constellation on a solar project at Ravens Training Facility in Owings Mills, MD.

Now, Union Electric and the Local 24 members working there are turning those plans into reality. They are employing their expertise to install over 1200 photovoltaic panels on the roof of the Ravens’ practice field. That’s a worksite that is 85 feet off the ground!

The completed project is expected to generate 460,000 kWh every year.
