Let the Maryland Public Service Commission know about your support for MAPP. Read the following letter and electronically sign it below. Also, plenty of information is available throughout this website. Feel free to add in your own words of support in the text box below.

I support the Mid-Atlantic Power Pathway (MAPP) project and urge the Maryland Public Service Commission to approve this critical infrastructure upgrade for the future of the Delmarva Peninsula.

This project should be approved because:

• It's been 25 years since the last major interstate transmission line was built in the Mid-Atlantic region;

• Demand for power during peak usage times is expected to increase by nearly 20 percent over the next 10 years;

• PJM, the transmission grid operator for 13 states including Maryland, has warned that without major transmission upgrades, our region could experience rolling blackouts as early as 2015;

• It will reduce the cost of power by reducing congestion on the grid;

• It will create a bigger "pipeline" for delivering new clean energy solutions such as wind, solar power, and emissions-free nuclear;

• The Delmarva Peninsula depends on power coming down only from the north, leaving us vulnerable to long-term outages in the event of a disaster. MAPP will ensure a safe, reliable supply of electricity for the future.
