MID-ATLANTIC POWER PATHWAY

“Maryland imports nearly 30 percent of its electricity from out of state and this dependency on out of state resources has led to a strained transmission system…For this reason, PJM has stated that without transmission upgrades, Maryland may experience rolling blackouts as early as 2011.”
