“Prepare Now”: Substation Failure Puts Baltimore At Risk Of “Widespread” Blackout

Over a million residents across central Maryland, particularly in the Baltimore metro, were warned moments ago by the local utility that a substation failure linked to a major power plant could trigger widespread blackouts this afternoon. The alert comes barely a week after President Trump handed Maryland Governor Wes Moore and the Democratic Party in Annapolis a political lifeline to prevent power blackouts, underscoring the fragility of the state’s power grid under the weight of failed Democrat-driven green energy policies.

Baltimore Gas and Electric (BGE) has asked all 1.3 million of its electric customers in central Maryland “to conserve electricity to reduce the potential for widespread outages this afternoon and evening, due to a power plant experiencing an unplanned disconnection from the BGE electric system.

The Maryland Freedom Caucus reports that a substation linked to the Brandon Shores Power Plant experienced a failure earlier today, which could leave the supply insufficient when demand peaks later. As a result, Baltimore City and surrounding areas may face rolling blackouts this afternoon.

    1. I think if I was the Governor, I’d have the national guard pre deployed. Looting and mayhem seems to directly follow blackouts.

    Another power play by the climate change grifters targeting “Red” MD? Were there any brownouts in MoCo, AACo or PGCo?

  2. are you allowed to say blackout? isnt that bad? it definitely has a negative connotation. cant use brown out either! what a dilemma!
