BGE Rating Information

BGE is revising transmission circuit and transformer ratings in their transmission zone based on a comprehensive review of their facility ratings process.

PJM is reviewing the 500 and 230kV transmission circuit and transformer ratings which will be implemented on June 1, 2008.

BG&E is making a concerted effort to prioritize transmission work during the month of May 2008 to address the impact of 9 high priority transmission circuit and transformer ratings changes on system operations. This will also necessitate both scheduled and emergency outages in May to complete the related transmission work.

The BGE rating changes effective June 1 are included in the attached document:

Emergency and Planned Outages are scheduled on the following 9 facilities during May to address projected operational/reliability concerns.
