The CPV Backbone Solar project is a proposed 175 MW solar generation facility in Garrett County, Maryland. The project, developed under the PJM Interconnection queue as project PJM-AF2-356, entered the queue on March 31, 2020, with a proposed commercial operation date of March 15, 2026. The interconnection agreement (IA) for the project has been executed. The point of interconnection is the Albright-Mt. Zion 138 kV line.
The proposed project is linked to an existing operating plant, CPV Backbone Solar (EIA ID 67022). Recent news coverage, including articles related to industry, grid, and development, has featured the project.
