Commission Sets Up Email Address For Comments On PSEG Maryland Piedmont Reliability Project
From Press Release:
The Maryland Public Service Commission has established a dedicated email account for comments related to the Maryland Piedmont Reliability Project, a high-voltage transmission line proposed by PSEG, as part of a regional transmission process. Although PSEG has not yet filed an application with the Public Service Commission for authority to build the project, and there is no case pending before the Commission, nevertheless, the Commission will accept comments via a dedicated email address, piedmontcomments.psc@maryland.gov.
If the developer files an application and the Commission opens a case, those comments will be added to the public comments file of the case so that the Commission has the benefit of the public’s views.
Hearings being held by the developer are part of PSEG’s pre-application process, which the Commission does not oversee. If the developer files an application, the public will have the opportunity to provide comments in a variety of ways. This would include public hearings, held by the Commission, in the areas where the project is proposed to be constructed, as well as comments sent in by mail or email.
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. Members of the public are encouraged to engage with this process and provide input.
