Planners of a multi-state, high-voltage transmission line called PATH say they have refiled their stalled application in Maryland and asked to withdraw their application in Virginia.

Allegheny Energy Inc. of Greensburg, Pennsylvania and American Electric Power Co., of Columbus, Ohio, announced the filings Monday.

The Maryland Public Service Commission rejected an application for the 20-mile Maryland segment in September, saying the proposed operator was not an electric company. The new application is by the Potomac Edison Co., one of Allegheny's electric utilities.

The partners say they will refile in early 2010 for the 31-mile Virginia segment to better coordinate proceedings in all three states.

The proposed Potomac-Appalachian Transmission Highline would run 275 miles from Putnam County, West Virginia to near New Market, Maryland.

WHSV Poll
A committee in the House of Delegates has sent a bill to the House floor that would allow private, faith-based adoption agencies to discriminate against prospective parents based on their sexual orientation. Would you support this?

Yes, I think if it is a private organization it's okay.
No, there should be no discrimination.
It should depend on a case by case basis.
