Constellation Energy is proposing 714 MW of new gas-fired peaker capacity and up to 800 MW of storage in response to a Maryland solicitation.

PJM's Operating Committee heard an update on the Aug. 11 load-shedding event in Baltimore, which brought 20 MW offline for about half an hour following equipment failures at the Brandon Shores substation

An Aug. 11 load-shedding event in Baltimore was caused by equipment failure at the Brandon Shores substation, causing all breakers to open and cutting the city off from a major transmission feeder.

PJM initiated a load-shedding event in the Baltimore Gas and Electric region after the Brandon Shores substation went offline.

Brandon Russell was convicted of masterminding a 2023 plan to damage electric substations in a plot to "completely destroy" Baltimore.

An Exelon manager discussed the utility's physical security approach in light of the growing threat to the grid from both foreign and domestic actors.

Exelon on Sept. 30 filed a petition for a declaratory order from FERC on its dispute with Constellation Energy over the latter’s effort to co-locate major loads at two of its nuclear plants.

Exelon is focused on meeting rising demand from data centers and manufacturing, company officials said during its second-quarter earnings call.

The OPC petition also warns of the possibility of a gas utility "death spiral" as customers electrify their homes and drop off the system, leaving a diminishing base of customers to cover system costs through higher rates.

With more than 300,000 buildings, the U.S. government is the nation’s largest energy consumer and “a steady customer prepared to make long-term investments,” GSA Administrator Robin Carnahan said.
