Last week, County Executive John Olszewski, Jr. outlined an aggressive goal for energy independence for Baltimore County in less than five years.
Olszewski shared his vision for this goal during a press conference on April 21. The project, the first of its kind for the county, consists of installing solar panels at two County landfills. These panels are expected to produce around 35 percent of the electricity needed to power the county. Baltimore County begins this green energy trek with SunPower Corp., a company that provides solar panel technology for both commercial and personal home use.
