What is the Maryland Piedmont Reliability Project (MPRP)?

A major project to create a 70-mile-long 500,000 volt electrical transmission line starting at Norrisville in Harford County, and then crossing Baltimore, Carroll, and Frederick Counties, and ending at the Doubs substation in southern Frederick County. The project will disrupt and destroy private land, farms, homes, and the natural environment. The power will largely be used to support data centers. For some additional information, see this article published by Mike Ruby in The County Chronicle.

How Can You Help?

There are many ways you can help right now. These include:

  2. Subscribe to our email list for updates.
  3. Send us an email either through the Contact Us form or to stopmprp@gmail.com to tell us how the project impacts you. You are welcome to include photos. We may use your impact statement and photo to help spread the word (we will only use your initials in public information).
  4. Donate to Stop MPRP, Inc. We are a nonprofit organization under the 501(c)4 rules so that means your donation directly to Stop MPRP, Inc. is not tax deductible to you, the donor.
