Westminster, MD, Wednesday, March 18, 2026 –The Carroll County Board of Commissioners (BoC) agrees with the Public Service Commission’s (PSC) prior decision to not include a proposed target final date in the Procedural Schedule for the Maryland Piedmont Reliability Project (MPRP).

Earlier this month, PSEG Renewable Transmission LLC (PSEG) filed a motion with the PSC again requesting a final target date of March 26, 2027, be added to the procedural schedule for the PSC’s consideration of a request for approval of the MPRP.  An earlier, almost identical request was previously denied. The PSEG motion can be read in its entirety by navigating here and continuing to #744.

Board President Joseph Vigliotti said, “The Commissioners remain committed to standing by our citizens and, as such, we oppose and will continue to oppose PSEG's self-serving and self-interested motions. In this instance, PSEG would have undermined not only a critically important process by favoring themselves with a set date for decision, but would have taken away the ability of our citizens to pursue any number of options in protection of their homes and their property by forcing an end date on them.”
