Summary

The bill directs Maryland’s Public Service Commission to order investor‑owned electric companies to create and submit plans when the state lacks sufficient generation capacity or a PJM price‑stability event occurs. It also authorizes those utilities to recover all prudently incurred costs for building, owning, or operating their own generation and storage assets, with a guaranteed rate of return. The measure aims to improve reliability while encouraging renewable energy development.
