Rockville leadership and the community have worked hard to become leaders in environmental stewardship. Here are some of our accomplishments:

Rockville was named the 2018 Sustainability Champion for amassing the highest points of all cities in the Maryland Sustainable Communities Certification program. Learn more at RockvilleReports.com/sustainable-rockville.
The city now has 10 times as many green buildings and 50 times as many solar panel installations as it did a decade ago.
The city purchases wind renewable energy certificates to offset 100% of the electricity used by our municipal operations.
The city is working with Pepco to install public electric-vehicle charging stations at Thomas Farm Community Center.
