Pepco to examine burying power lines

Pepco is investigating the feasibility of burying its Maryland power lines, the electric company told the Maryland Public Service Commission.

Within six months, Pepco will file with the utility regulator an analysis of undergrounding options, Pepco Assistant General Counsel Douglas Michael told the regulators in a letter. The analysis will look at the costs and benefits of burying select power lines and of burying all power lines, a spokesman told The Washington Examiner.
