The Maryland Power Plant Siting Act of 1971 established the Power Plant Siting Program to insure that demands for electric power would be met in a timely manner at a reasonable cost while assuring that the associated environmental impact would be acceptable. The scope of the Program extends to estimating the impact of proposed new generating facilities, evaluating the acceptability of proposed transmission line routes assessing the impact of existing generating facilities, acquiring sites for utilities unable to find a suitable site for generation, and investigating generic issues related to power plant site evaluation and associated environmental and land use considerations.
