Maryland SB992

Maryland SB992 is in committee.

This bill requires large electricity users, including data centers, to register with Maryland's Public Service Commission before connecting to the grid and participate in a demand response program that can curtail their power use. Data centers must meet certain conditions to qualify for a tax exemption, and the Commission gains new authority to manage grid impacts from these large power consumers.

Recorded sponsors: Katie Hester, Brian Feldman, Karen Lewis Young, Charles Sydnor.
