What a contentious power line could mean for Maryland's energy grid, and a budding data center industry

Through a complex, interwoven, interstate system, transmission cables carry electricity to businesses and homes everywhere, connecting the United States in a latticework of metal and rubber from one coast to another coast. With soaring energy needs and aging infrastructure, utility companies say new power lines are needed. The Maryland Piedmont Reliability Project, a 70-mile transmission line that would cross three counties, is one proposed addition. Community members, environmentalist and elected officials are pushing back, however. Last week, the Baltimore County Council passed a resolution voicing opposition to the MPRP. WYPR reporter John Lee joins Midday to provide the latest on the story. Later, we talk to Joanne Frederick, of Stop MPRP Inc. She is a Baltimore County resident at risk of losing property to the transmission lines and has organized resistance. Data centers are one source of soaring energy need across the region. And an initiative to lure data center companies from northern Virginia is seeing some success. Jessica Fitzwater, Frederick County Executive, joins the program to talk about what she is hearing from constituents about data centers and the MPRP, which runs through her county. Plus, President and CEO of the Frederick County Chamber of Commerce Rick Weldon discusses the budding industry of data centers in Maryland.Email us at midday@wypr.org, tweet us: @MiddayWYPR, or call us at 410-662-8780.

Jennifer Gerlock was instrumental in the change within the organization.

Opportunity — provide opportunities that will enable individual growth and fuel business innovation. Collaboration — create partnerships with businesses and government entities to create successful relationships. Community — bring together current and aspiring leaders of all sectors to share ideas, strengths and expertise. Education — inform the business community to share expertise.
