BGE has applied for a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity for its Maryland Line to High Ridge new 500 kV transmission line. This will be built in an existing BGE right-of-way. The project includes rebuilding an existing 500 kV line and an existing 230 kV line.

The entire project spans 59 miles. To see details of this project, including an interactive map, visit https://goodenergyinprogress.com/project/tri-county-transmission-upgrade-project/maryland-line-highridge/ . The existing right-of-way cuts through VPC territory, crossing Mt. Carmel Road near Cedar Grove Road, Yeoho, Benson Mill, Falls, Black Rock, Dover, Piney Grove, and Longnecker Roads, on its way to Rte. 30 and points west of 795.

The deadline to become an intervenor in the Maryland Line to High Ridge project is 𝗔𝘂𝗴𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝟯. If you are at all concerned that new structures that are much larger than existing ones will be erected, that new access roads may be needed, or that the equivalent of a new energy highway will be constructed, and your property adjoins the existing right-of-way, please consider becoming an intervenor in Case 9884 at the Public Service Commission.

Meanwhile, Wednesday night BGE held a virtual informational meeting about what it’s calling the Lieb Road Transmission Upgrade Project, part of a group of projects collectively called the “Tri-County Transmission Upgrade Project Bundle” (this includes the Maryland Line to High Ridge project).

The Lieb Road project is just 1.6 miles, but it includes the installation of a new 500 kV transmission line “to maintain the stability of the transmission grid”, i.e., connect the MPRP to energy coming from Pennsylvania on its way to Maryland.

The presentation was remarkably uninformative. No new information was presented. We had unanswered questions about the existing right-of-way the line is being built on, access roads, what will happen if landowners refuse access across their properties, and who will pay for the project if the MPRP is never built. BGE is projecting that construction will be completed in June 2027.

Boring got decked out for the 250th! A few of the Boring Christmas Elves hit town today and put a little patriotism on display. Truthfully, I hadn't seen any decorations or flags around town and it hit me that Boring needed to snap out of it and show our best side! Boring is the model of America. We are rural, respectful, diverse and stewards of the environment! We love our country and we rally to protect our community.

Hope you enjoy the flags and decorations and it helps get everyone in the mood to celebrate this great country's 250th Amniversary!!! May God Bless America! 🎉🎉 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🎉🎉

Happy 4th🇺🇲 to you all and be safe!

The Patriotic Elves:
Pam Ecker, Errol Ecker, Art Smith, Joyce Smith, Joe Westphal, Gayle Blum & Family.

Please post your pictures of celebrations around Maryland if you have them! ❤️
