The Maryland Public Service Commission (PSC) has granted Chaberton Energy‘s 7.65 MW Project Bonneville a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity, allowing the community solar project in Jarrettsville in Harford County to move forward.
The company says this is the first time a community solar project has been recommended under Maryland’s Power Plant Research Program (PPRP), which coordinates the state’s comprehensive review of proposed power generating and transmission facilities. The PPRP was designed so that regulators could ensure applications are vetted before being sent to the PSC.
“Maryland is one of the most supportive states in the nation for community solar projects,” says Stefano Ratti, Chaberton’s CEO and founder.
“We are proud to play a leading role in our home state, and we hope that other states will follow Maryland’s example in promoting critical clean energy infrastructure.”
Chaberton has more than 190 MW of community solar projects in development and construction in Maryland.
Once constructed, the Bonneville project will occupy 37 acres of a 186-acre plot of land. It is set to include pollinator habitat.

As suggested at left, a great deal of the hardship that has befallen the U.S. was simply bad luck. Al Gore came within a whisker of victory in 2000, a win that would have forever changed the course of our nation in terms of energy policy, education, healthcare, and international affairs.
If Bernie had become the 2016 nominee, we wouldn’t have had Hillary Clinton telling our country’s most mean-spirited and least-educated people that they were “deplorables,” ushering a criminal sociopath into the White House.
We Came Incredible Close to Averting the Disaster that Is Donald Trump
Social democracies are nations in which the tax base provides everyone with healthcare and education, and where the richest and most powerful people are not free to ruin the environment.
I run into someone from one of these counties a couple of times a month, and I like to ask why their people are consistently at the top of the World Happiness Rankings. The normal response is always some variant of the following:
It’s hard to be happy living in a society that is indifferent to the suffering of others. It’s part of the very nature of human beings to care about one another.
Something else I notice about these places is that very few people are religious. Sweden, e.g., is about 80% atheist.
That means no childish tribalism, no ridiculous dogmas, no worries about eternal damnation, etc.
