The Engineering Division monitors the operations of public service companies for safety, efficiency, reliability and quality of service. The Division’s primary areas of responsibility include electric distribution and transmission, gas and electric metering, private water and sewer distribution systems, certification of solar renewable energy facilities, natural gas and hazardous liquid pipeline safety.

The Engineering Division participates in the Maryland Department of Emergency Management (MDEM) emergency preparedness and response efforts. The Power Infrastructure State Coordinating Function (SCF-12) supports MDEM’s emergency preparedness and response efforts. Staff’s Engineering team and the Maryland Energy Administration (MEA) are jointly responsible for leading SCF-12, specifically, for utility coordination related to electric service outages and fuel supply coordination during fuel disruptions.

SCF-12 participates in training, drills, coordination meetings and statewide emergency management conference calls for establishing situational awareness and management of state emergencies.

John J. Clementson and DeAndre T. Wilson are assistant chief engineers; Samrawit Dererie is the Manager of Grid Reliability and Modernization
