Project Overview

Caroline County is experiencing increased energy demands. To address this growth, we are proposing two new electric transmission projects: the Ruther Glen 230 kV Electric Transmission Project and the Carmel Church 230 kV Electric Transmission Project.

 

Each project proposes a new substation and corresponding 230 kV electric transmission line to connect to the existing electric transmission grid. This new infrastructure will allow us to meet the growing energy needs, continue reliable electric service, and maintain compliance with federal reliability standards.

 

Update: A second community meeting will be held at Caroline High School on Tuesday, September 17, 2024, 5–7 p.m.
