Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, EmPOWER Energy Efficiency Programs, and Community Solar Energy Generating Systems

Summary

The bill requires the governor to withdraw Maryland from the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative by Jan. 1, 2027, but lets the state rejoin if all PJM states become full members or Maryland becomes a net electricity exporter. It also eliminates the surcharge that funds the EmPOWER energy‑efficiency programs and sets limits on how electric utilities can structure community solar tariffs. The changes would affect utilities, ratepayers, and the state’s climate‑policy funding.
