Public Utilities - Large Load Customers - Registration and Demand Response Program

Summary

The bill requires any commercial or industrial customer that draws at least 25 MW on average and has a load factor over 80% to register with Maryland’s Public Service Commission before connecting to the grid. It also establishes a demand‑response program and gives data centers that meet certain criteria a sales‑use tax exemption. The goal is to improve grid reliability, ensure cost recovery for new capacity, and encourage renewable or on‑site generation.
