BALTIMORE, MD / ACCESS Newswire / February 12, 2026 / Gordian Energy Systems today announced the successful completion of construction of the Costen Solar Farm, a 13.7 MW solar project in Maryland owned and operated by Maryland-based Standard Solar, a leading commercial and community solar developer and asset owner. Developed to supply renewable electricity to a Maryland-based healthcare system under a long-term power purchase agreement (PPA) with Standard Solar, the project expands access to clean power without upfront capital investment by the customer.

The Costen Solar Farm represents years of planning and collaboration. Gordian Energy Systems managed the engineering, procurement, construction, and commissioning of the array, all while maintaining the highest standards of quality and safety.

"This project has been in development for several years, and seeing it come to fruition is incredibly rewarding," said AJ Armstrong, Vice President of Business Development at Gordian Energy Systems. "Our team worked diligently to deliver a high-performing facility that supports the customer's sustainability goals, while partnering closely with Standard Solar to meet schedule, quality, and operational requirements. The Costen Solar Farm is a testament to what persistence and partnership can achieve."

On the construction side, Gordian's expertise ensured the project stayed on track despite unexpected hurdles.

"Every large-scale solar project comes with unique challenges, and Costen was no exception," said Will Jawish, VP at Gordian Energy Systems. "From adapting to new utility requirements to accommodating evolving requirements and design adjustments, our team demonstrated flexibility and problem-solving at every stage. Delivering this on time and to spec is something we are extremely proud of."

The completed system will offset 14,702,144 pounds of CO2 emissions annually, equivalent to removing thousands of cars from the road or preventing the burning of coal for power generation, helping Maryland advance toward its clean energy goals.
