Eastern Correctional Institute: FAQ

Where is Eastern Correctional Institute?
In Somerset County, Maryland (MD). The map on this page is placed at the coordinates EIA files for the plant, which locate the site rather than any individual unit.
How big is Eastern Correctional Institute?
6 MW of nameplate capacity across 4 units, as of the EIA-860M release for 2026-07.
Who owns Eastern Correctional Institute?
EIA-860M names Maryland Environmental Service as the reporting entity. That is the operator of record on the survey, which is not always the ultimate owner.
Is this the same as Eastern Correctional Institute LLC?
Probably, but EIA-860M does not say. The survey records a plant name and a reporting entity — Maryland Environmental Service here — not the project company that holds the asset. Project companies are commonly registered as an LLC carrying the plant's name, so a search for "Eastern Correctional Institute LLC" usually means this site. This page shows only what EIA files, and does not assert a corporate structure it cannot see.
