BALTIMORE – Constellation Energy has begun commercial operation of the flue gas desulfurization or “scrubber” project at the Brandon Shores Power Plant in Pasadena.  The company says this plant is one of the cleanest-burning power plants of its kind in the nation.  The nearly $1 billion investment is one component of a clean air program that Constellation expects will meet emissions requirements of Maryland’s Healthy Air Act for coal-fired plants; the legislation was signed into law in 2006.
