WGL Energy and Susquehanna University Partner to Develop 14-Acre Solar Array in Pennsylvania

3.9 MW Facility Will Supply 30 Percent of University’s Electricity
Needs

WASHINGTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Susquehanna University has entered into an agreement with WGL Energy
Systems (WGL Energy), a WGL company (NYSE: WGL), to develop a 3.9 MW DC
(3 AC MW) ground-mounted solar array that will supply 30 percent of the
university’s electricity needs.

Construction has already begun on the 12,000-panel, 14-acre project,
located at the Center for Environmental Education and Research (CEER)
along the western border of campus on Sassafras Street. It is the
largest university-sponsored solar array in Pennsylvania. The facility
is expected to be completed by summer of 2018.

“WGL Energy is proud of our presence throughout Pennsylvania and to
extend our offering of diverse and innovative energy solutions – it’s
exciting to partner with the university and develop our first solar
project in Pennsylvania,” said Sanjiv Mahan, president, WGL Energy
Systems. “We look forward to expanding our business to provide more
energy answers in the Commonwealth.”

“Susquehanna University is proud to support the development of one of
the largest solar projects in Pennsylvania,” said Jonathan D. Green,
president, Susquehanna University. “This is a major step forward in the
university’s commitment to implementing earth-friendly initiatives that
are at the heart of responsible living in our interdependent world.”

The solar array is estimated to produce more than 5,300 megawatt hours
(MWh) per year of electricity, enough to power all of the campus’
residence halls and avoid greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to taking
approximately 787 cars off the road each year.

Susquehanna will purchase that electricity from WGL Energy. WGL Energy
Systems, which has more than 200 MW of distributed generation projects
installed or under contract across 20 states and the District of
Columbia, will own and operate the facility under a 25-year power
purchase agreement (PPA).
