Public Service Commission grants supplier licenses, cancels one telecom authority and extends two solar project deadlines
Summary
At its March 26, 2025 administrative meeting, the Public Service Commission approved eight consent-agenda items including three supplier licenses, a telecom cancellation, several financing notices and operational-deadline extensions for two solar projects under COMAR waivers.
The Public Service Commission on March 26, 2025 approved eight consent-agenda items, granting supplier licenses, noting financing and bond changes, cancelling one telecommunications operating authority and extending operational deadlines for two solar projects.
The actions were taken at the commission’s administrative meeting after a staff summary of the items. The commission voted unanimously on each motion; Commissioners Sussman, Barbet and Richard each recorded “aye” on the roll calls reported in the transcript.
Staff reported that Items 1 and 2 were applications from Power Analytics Group LLC. The commission granted Power Analytics Group a license to operate as an electricity supplier in Maryland, limited to broker services for the customer classes and service territories in its application, and a license to operate as a natural gas supplier in Maryland, likewise limited to broker services. The commission directed the company to notify the commission within 30 days of any changes to information in its applications. For the natural-gas license the commission additionally directed the company to provide Maryland-specific marketing and training materials to commission staff and the Office of People’s Counsel 30 days prior to using those materials in Maryland.
Item 3 was an application from ELQ Digital Inc., doing business as Personalized Energy, for a license to supply electricity (limited to broker services). The commission granted the license and directed the company to provide Maryland-specific marketing materials to commission staff and the Office of People’s Counsel if it develops them, and to notify the commission within 30 days of any changes to application information.
Item 4 was a notice from American Alternative Insurance Company Corp. regarding a bond cancellation for EarthGrid PBC; the commission noted the company’s acquisition of a new bond.
Item 5 was a request from Zio Infrastructure Holco LLC. The commission cancelled the company’s Maryland operating authority, with the understanding that the company must file a new application if it later seeks to offer any telecommunications services in Maryland under the commission’s jurisdiction.
Item 6 was a notice from SQF LLC about its participation in financing arrangements; the commission noted the financing.
Item 7 was a request from Maverick 1 LLC for an extension of an operational deadline for a solar project. The commission granted a limited waiver of COMAR 20.62.03.04(c) and extended the project’s operational deadline to March 9, 2026. During the brief exchange recorded in the transcript a commissioner asked what the filer meant by “targeted extension.” Staff said the term was being used in the filer’s submissions to mean the same as a “limited extension.” The transcript shows the commission’s vote to grant the waiver and extension as unanimous.
Item 8 was a request from Greg Road Solar LLC to extend its operational deadline. The commission granted the requested waiver of COMAR 20.62.03.04(c) and extended the project’s operational deadline to March 18, 2026.
