Solar Project Pre-Application Meetings

PPRP has designated the first Wednesday of each month from 1-4pm for pre-application meetings with developers as required under COMAR 20.79.01.04 (A). Applicants MUST email PPRP with a requested date and time to meet at least two weeks prior to a meeting. The email must include presentation slides, a preliminary site plan as a pdf separate from the presentation, and the completed Pre-Application Checklist. This checklist is tied to the requirements for completeness as referenced in (COMAR 20.79.03) but is not comprehensive. Completion of this checklist will assist PPRP in its application review and will better facilitate the process. Additionally, unless the developer and or counsel have contacted the host county at least 45 days prior to seeking a pre-application meeting with PPRP and provided information compliant with COMAR 20.79.01.05.05, the meeting will not be scheduled.

Please email pprp.dnr@maryland.gov with your request or any related questions.

Please note that failure to provide any of the products mentioned above may cause a delay in the scheduling of your pre-application meeting.

Applicants will be assigned 45 minutes, including time for questions, to present on a first-come, first-served basis, beginning at 1pm on their requested date.
