PSEG Maryland Piedmont Reliability Project

On December 31, 2024, PSEG Renewable Transmission LLC filed an application with the Public Service Commission for a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (CPCN), which, if granted, would authorize the applicant to build its Maryland Piedmont Reliability Project (MPRP).

(Hearings/information sessions that were held by the developer were part of PSEG’s pre-application process, which the Commission did not oversee.)

Going forward, after a pre-hearing conference to set the procedural schedule, the CPCN process would include public hearings, held by the Commission, in the counties where the project is proposed to be constructed, as well as evidentiary hearings. The Commission will provide notice of its hearings and other proceedings on its website (psc.state.md.us), through the news media and social media channels.

Comments received at the dedicated email address (piedmontcomments.psc@maryland.gov) set up before the case’s filing will now be added to the public comments file of the docketed case, No. 9773) so that the Commission has the benefit of the public’s views.

Citizens are encouraged to engage with this process and provide input as the case progresses.
