July 21, 2010

Baltimore firm Constellation Energy has completed two clean energy projects at federal correctional institutions in New Jersey and Virginia.

FCI Fairton, NJ, was provided with a 400kW solar photovoltaic system and energy efficiency upgrades, while FCI Petersburg, VA, was installed a new on-site biomass heating system, rooftop solar PV array and a geothermal heat pump system.

The projects are expected to see energy cost savings of more than $2.2 million a year.
