Developers are planning to build a bus maintenance and operations center in Maryland that they say will be the nation’s largest renewable energy-powered transit depot in terms of capacity. The faciliity in the Montgomery County suburb of Washington, D.C. would also feature a microgrid and be the East Coast's first transit depot to have green hydrogen production, with an onsite electrolyzer powered by a solar array and battery storage.
County officials plan to initially power 13 fuel cell electric buses at the Equipment Maintenance and Transit Operation Center in Rockville, but the facility will be able to accommodate up to 200 mixed-fleet vehicles, according to AlphaStruxure, the company leading the project for the county.
