Williamsport Power Plant Expansion Opens in Maryland
Williamsport Maryland marked the opening of Potomac Edison’s new 4.5 million dollar six story addition to its Williamsport generating plant. The upgrade adds a 35 000 kilowatt unit bringing Williamsport capacity to 85 000 KW and expanding supply for Prestern Maryland and the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia. In nearby Hagerstown plans advanced for a tie in between the city plant and Potomac Edison as the two systems compete for power delivery in the area. Public officials approved negotiations to connect the municipal plant to the Potomac system as a safety measure to meet peak loads.
