POWER PLANT
RESEARCH PROGRAM
The Power Plant Research Program functions to ensure that Maryland meets its electricity demands at reasonable costs while protecting the state’s valuable natural resources. It provides a continuing program for evaluating electric generation issues and recommending responsible, long-term solutions.
The program is responsible for managing a consolidated review of all issues related to power generation and transmission in Maryland. This role – unique in State government – provides a framework for the comprehensive review of all electric power issues with the goal of balancing need, cost and impact.
