St. Charles Energy Center

"The CPV St. Charles Energy Center improves the regional electric grid reliability with new, efficient, reliable, responsive power, while using recycled water for cooling maximizing water resource utilization and providing a new, potent economic driver for the region"

"The CPV St. Charles Energy Center is a win-win for Charles County as well as CPV and its investors. Job creation and reliable electricity for the region are much-needed local benefits that all Charles County residents can be grateful for. The CPV St. Charles Energy Center will be a substantial contributor to local taxes and an environmental steward utilizing reclaimed water that would otherwise be discharged into the Potomac River and ultimately the Chesapeake Bay.”"

"The Public Service Commission is required to ensure an adequate supply of electricity so that Maryland families and businesses can live and prosper. In light of the fact that 70 percent of Maryland’s existing power plants are more than 30 years old, I applaud the decision by the Public Service Commission that will lead to the construction of a new natural gas plant in Charles County."
