Description
Description | The Maryland Piedmont Reliability Project (MPRP) is a proposed high-voltage overhead transmission line spanning roughly 70 miles through mostly rural Maryland, impacting private landowners in Frederick, Carroll, and Baltimore counties. The project aims to maintain grid reliability due to rising electricity demand driven largely by data centres and the retirement of older power plants. The project involves expanding transmission capacity and strengthening the grid, with a cost of $424 million. The project is currently undergoing regulatory review, including a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (CPCN) application process, public hearings, and legal challenges related to land access for surveys. |
