The order by Joel M. Bright, a hearing examiner for the Public Service Commission, grants a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (CPCN) for CPV to construct and operate the plant and accepts a settlement on permit conditions between CPV and Maryland state agencies. The order became effective on November 8, 2008.
** The permit conditions agreement notes that issuance of a CPCN by the Maryland Public Service Commission for CPV St. Charles is in the public interest as construction of the Project will assist Maryland in addressing a predicted shortfall in electric generation in the in the 2011-2012 time period. The agreement also says that construction and operation of the project in accordance with the conditions in the agreement “would meet or exceed the requirements of all currently applicable environmental laws and regulations, including those relating to noise abatement and the control of air and water pollution.”
