MAPP - first I've heard of it

Just happened to see a quick news report on this, so I looked it up.

MID-ATLANTIC POWER PATHWAY
Quote:
The MAPP project is a 150-mile transmission line that will significantly increase the region's ability to import power. Local utilities and electric cooperatives rely on this transmission system to keep the lights on for their customers and early estimates suggest that the entire MAPP line, which crosses three states, could bring enough new power to the region to light up an additional 800,000 to 2 million homes.
Kinda looks like a prep for offshore power, like wind. I also notice St. Marys county isn't part of it....
Quote:
When you combine this new energy with a stronger focus on energy conservation and development of new clean air power sources like wind, solar and nuclear, the Mid-Atlantic region, including the Delmarva Peninsula, will be well positioned to meet the energy challenges in its future.
