Electric Companies – Environmental Surcharges or Fees – Prohibition on Collection

Summary

The bill bars electric companies in Maryland from collecting certain environmental surcharges or fees if the average residential electricity bill grows faster than the Consumer Price Index for urban consumers. The Public Service Commission must calculate both inflation and bill growth each year and enforce the prohibition for the following year. It aims to protect consumers from cost increases that outpace general price rises.
