MPRP Public Information Session
Live coverage of the Proposed Route And Public Information Session For Maryland Piedmont Reliability Project (MPRP) on Wednesday, November 13, 2024.
The meeting will be held at the Carroll County Agricultural Center. 706 Agricultural Center Drive, Westminster, MD from 6:00 PM - 8:30 PM
The Public Information Session is an opportunity for the individuals to learn more about the project and offer comments to the project team. Additional sessions will be held in Baltimore, Carroll and Frederick counties.
The MPRP transmission line project was awarded to Public Service Enterprise Group (PSEG) by PJM in December 2023. The project includes a high-voltage alternating current (AC) transmission line with a voltage level of 500-kV to transport large amounts of electricity over long distances. The approximately 70-mile proposed transmission route spans three counties, westward from the connection point within the existing Baltimore Gas & Electric transmission line ROW in northern Baltimore County, through Carroll County, and into the existing Doubs 500kV Station in southern Frederick County. The proposed date of operation is June 2027.
Following the public information sessions, PSEG is targeting submission for a Certificate of Public Convenience & Necessity (CPCN) to the Maryland Public Service Commission (PSC) by year- end 2024, although that date may move into early 2025 depending on the public feedback received.
