Gore-Doubs-Goose Creek Improvements Project
Potomac Edison has been awarded a project by regional transmission organization PJM Interconnection to upgrade the company’s transmission lines in Frederick and Montgomery counties in Maryland. The work will primarily take place within approximately 18 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.
The project will primarily utilize existing transmission rights of way, minimizing environmental and community impacts. It will enhance transmission system reliability, accommodate growing demand for electricity by residential and commercial customers, and facilitate the connection of new energy resources.
