Latest Information on the Maryland Piedmont Reliability Project

The Maryland Piedmont Reliability Project is an approximately 70-mile-long high-voltage electricity transmission proposal  awarded to developer PSEG by PJM, the regional grid operator. The company has begun a routing analysis to further define the study area and to determine routing alternatives. At this time, the company has not filed a project application with the Maryland Public Service Commission, the agency with the official responsibility for reviewing this proposal, collecting public input, and issuing a decision on whether to permit construction of the project. Noting the significant public interest in the proposal, the Public Service Commission has established an email address for submitting public comment, piedmontcomments.psc@maryland.gov. The Public Service Commission indicates that if PSEG files an application and it opens a case, your comments will be added to the public comments file. 

PSEG has indicated that it will communicate project updates in a variety of ways, including a dedicated project hotline 833-451-MPRP (6777), news releases, open houses and this project-focused website.
