Rice - Ringgold Transmission Line Project
Transource is developing the Rice-Ringgold Project, a 29-mile double circuit 230 kV transmission line connecting the new 500/230kV Rice substation in Shippensburg, Pennsylvania to the Ringgold substation in Smithsburg, Maryland. This project, awarded by the PJM Interconnection, LLC (PJM), is needed to reduce grid congestion and allow lower-cost power to flow more efficiently to area communities. Transource is working closely with landowners, local officials, and key stakeholders to ensure their critical input is considered.

Additional Project Details
Transource hosted open houses on March 16 and 17, 2026, to engage directly with landowners and community stakeholders regarding the Rice-Ringgold Transmission Line Project. These events provided an opportunity for attendees to meet with project team members, ask questions and learn more about the proposed transmission line.
Transource plans to file a siting application with the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission this spring and expects a decision by fall 2026.
