In a follow-up letter obtained by FOX Business this week, PJM Interconnection warned the shutdown of the Brandon Shores coal power plant is slated to occur before replacement power sources can come online, resulting in "degraded grid reliability" for more than 1 million state consumers, including the entire city of Baltimore.
The plant's operator, Texas-based Talen Energy, recently confirmed to FOX Business that it still intends to deactivate the Brandon Shores plant in June 2025 as part of an agreement with the Sierra Club.
"This situation requires immediate attention," Asthana continued. "Failure to come to resolution on this issue could result in degraded grid reliability for over 1,000,000 Maryland consumers during peak hours, including the entirety of the city of Baltimore, for the years between the stated deactivation of Brandon Shores and the date whereby needed transmission can be constructed."
He said if an emergency were to be declared, "it may be too late to ensure that Maryland consumers can continue to have reliable electric service."

"Why does it have to be a law? Should we have the freedom to decide?"
