Maryland Headlines
Electric Choice Maintained
AOBA, working with other interested businesses, helped defeat legislation (SB 844) that would have attempted to partially re-regulate Maryland's electric market. This legislation would have 1) required residential and small commercial customers to give up the right to choose their electricity provider, and 2) authorized the PSC to order utilities to build power plants and charge customers in all rate classes and service territories a non-bypassable surcharge (i.e. an “energy tax”) on their electric bills.
