The project is Safari Energy’s eighth in the state, bringing the total capacity of Safari Energy’s commercial rooftop solar systems in Maryland to nearly 10 MW. Francis Scott Key Mall is Safari Energy’s fifth project with PREIT, adding to a growing nationwide portfolio.

Safari Energy developed the Francis Scott Key Mall project, conducting site analysis; engineering design; financial, tax and legal structuring; incentive capture; permitting; construction management and interconnection approval. The project has now moved into the asset management phase, with Safari Energy providing the site with operations and maintenance services. Safari Energy is similarly providing ongoing O&M services in Maryland for systems installed at Mondawmin Mall in Baltimore and Federal Plaza in Bethesda.

“Safari Energy is proud to continue expanding our portfolio of projects with PREIT and to support the growth of renewable energy in Maryland” said Matt Rudey, Chief Executive Office, Safari Energy. “We look forward to completing more commercial solar projects in in the state as we help to advance a cleaner energy future.

Joseph F. Coradino, CEO, PREIT, added that the trust partnered with Safari Energy on its first rooftop solar project at Cherry Hill Mall in New Jersey and is pleased to continue building on this partnership with five installations now complete. Safari Energy has helped the trust realise significant economic value and environmental benefits from previously unused roof space from Massachusetts to Maryland, enhancing its sustainability efforts.

Francis Scott Key Mall is located in Frederick, Maryland, within an hour of Washington, D.C. and Baltimore, and offers shoppers more than 70 specialty retailers.
