On February 21, Director of Intergovernmental Relations Dominic Butchko testified before the Economic Matters Committee in support of HB 1149 – Public Service Commission – Full Costs and Benefits Analysis of Sources of Electricity Generation.
This bill requires the Public Service Commission to conduct a cost and benefit analysis for certain sources of energy generation.
From MACo Testimony:
The 2025 Maryland General Assembly faces an unprecedented set of generational challenges, with energy emerging as a top priority, second only to the daunting budget hurdles and stark changes in federal policies. As the state transitions toward renewable energy sources and full electrification, a predominant concern needs to be ensuring grid reliability and affordability for residents. HB 1149 is a commonsense bill because it aims to help fill certain informational gaps related to certain energy sources. Having a more robust picture of the impacts of certain sources helps policymakers at all levels make better informed decisions.
HB 1149’s cross-file, SB 675, was heard on March 6 in the Senate Education, Energy, and the Environment Committee. Dominic Butchko testified in support of this bill.
