Residents in Baltimore, Carroll, and Frederick Counties are facing a controversy over the Maryland Piedmont Reliability Project (MPRP), a massive power line project that aims to address the state’s energy needs. However, private property owners are refusing to allow surveyors onto their land, causing a stalemate. Public Service Enterprise Group (PSEG) has offered compensation to access the properties but has faced resistance. Despite the opposition, PSEG is threatening legal action if they are not granted access by April 15.
The group Stop MPRP, Inc. has labeled PSEG’s actions as aggressive and unacceptable, accusing them of trying to justify unjustifiable damage to Maryland landowners. Local governments and environmental organizations have also voiced concerns about the project, citing potential disruptions to forests, wetlands, and agricultural land.
PSEG is urging property owners to cooperate and is willing to discuss compensation for access without imposing permanent property rights. Meanwhile, Stop MPRP, Inc. is encouraging affected landowners to stay informed and united in their fight against the power line project.
