Utility RELIEF (Reducing Energy Load Inflation for Everyday Families) Act
In the House - Favorable with Amendments Report by Environment and Transportation
Summary
The legislation moves Maryland's electric universal service program to the Office of Home Energy Programs and requires that office to approve benefits for qualifying electric customers. It also creates a loan program for nonprofit organizations to fund green and renewable energy projects, lowers certain compliance payment rates, and streamlines permitting and interconnection for residential solar systems. By reshaping how compliance fees are used, the bill aims to direct more money toward renewable generation, low‑income solar grants, and clean‑energy loans.
