The Energy Administration was originally incor-
porated into the Department as part of the Energy
and Coastal Zone Administration by Chapter 320,
Acts of 1976. It became a separate administration
in 1979. It includes all energy-related agencies in
the Department. The common purpose of these
agencies is to evaluate the production and conser-
vation of energy while keeping adverse environ-
mental and fiscal effects to a minimum.

The three operating programs within the Admin-
istration are Power Plant Siting and Research,
Bureau of Mines, and the Energy Office.

POWER PLANT SITING PROGRAM

Dr. Randy Roig, Director Telephone: 269-2261

The Power Plant Siting Program, created by
Chapter 31, Acts of 1971, is responsible for the
administration of a long-range electric power plant
environmental research program, assessing the
impact of existing power plants, evaluating pro-
posed sites, and acquiring standby sites for a land
bank. Impact Assessment monitors, assesses, and
models the actual environmental impact of existing
power plants. Site Evaluations calculate the impact
of future power plants at proposed sites. On the
basis of site evaluation work, recommendations
relating to the design, construction, and operation
of power plants are made to the Public Service
Commission for conditions that are necessary for
the protection of the environment.

Research develops the understanding of Mary-
land's environmental resources and socio-econom-
ic structure necessary to site and operate power
