Community Benefits through Clean Energy on Maryland’s Eastern Shore
Shore Community Power is dedicated to providing clean energy solutions to the communities we serve, and we are committed to bringing the following community benefits on the Eastern Shore.
Discounted Clean Electricity
Suppling electricity for the benefit of ratepayers, at a substantial discount of what they are paying today.
Workforce Development
Training and educational programs at local institutions such as community colleges, universities and training centers.
Local Job
Creation
Skilled and unskilled labor for construction, as well as long-term operation and maintenance opportunities
Sustained Community Support & Engagement
Comprehensive energy study / audit of your existing electric-utility bills, and develop additional energy projects with a local campaign.
Agricultural Integration
Optimally integrated with ample setbacks, professionally designed landscape buffer, ground-cover, and strive for having agrivoltaic applications by locals.”
DISCOUNTED CLEAN ELECTRICITY
Tailored to the needs of municipalities, government agencies, non-profit organizations, and agricultural facilities
Per information provided by the State, gross electric-utility-rate of DPL (for a typical service) in 2025 is shown to be approximately 19 cents/KWh ($2050 / (12 x 900 KWh) ≈ 18.98 cents/KWh) and rising. The primary goal for all of our projects is to supply clean electricity at a substantial discount for many years to come.
Shore Community Power (SCP) builds, owns, operates, and maintains our projects for the long term. Our customers simply benefit financially from the project through an attractive power purchase agreement (PPA).
Under this PPA benefit alone, we anticipate delivering a total of approximately $63M of savings going back into the pockets of the entities chosen to benefit from our projects over the term of these initial Projects.
