Southern Maryland Electric Cooperative, Inc. (“SMECO” or “Cooperative”) is proposing to construct (1) a new 230 kilovolt (kV) double circuit transmission line from SMECO’s Holland Cliff switching station in northern Calvert County, Maryland to the SMECO Hewitt Road switching station in St. Mary’s County, Maryland and (2) a new 230/69 kV switching station in southern Calvert County (the “Project”). This switching station would be connected to the new transmission line and located between the Holland Cliff and Hewitt Road switching stations near the existing SMECO Calvert Cliffs 69 kV transmission line tap, near the intersection of Pardoe Road and Maryland State Highway 2/4. The Project is proposed to meet the growth in electrical energy demands and improve system reliability within SMECO’s service area. The Project is an expansion of SMECO’s existing 230 kV system and would provide a 230 kV loop through SMECO’s service area.
