Gore-Doubs-Goose Creek Improvements Project
Potomac Edison was awarded a project by regional transmission organization PJM Interconnection to upgrade transmission lines in Frederick and Montgomery counties in Maryland.
The work will take place within approximately 18.1 miles of existing rights of way, beginning at a point on the Maryland state line in the southwest corner of Frederick County, continuing east and south to the Doubs Substation in Frederick County, and then south through Montgomery County to the Virginia state line.
Approximately 9.4 miles of existing rights of way will be reconfigured and reconstructed to accommodate additional transmission lines in Frederick County and approximately 8.7 miles in Montgomery County. The project will enhance transmission system reliability, accommodate growing demand for electricity by residential and commercial customers, and facilitate the connection of new energy sources.
More information about the project can be found at www.pjm.com.
