House Environment and Transportation Committee previews conference report for sweeping energy package

Committee leaders walked members through the conference-report concepts for a comprehensive energy bill that would change Empower Maryland, set a one-year moratorium and PSC proceeding on forecast test years, reshape net energy metering, require RTO membership, and create a data-center registry and other transparency and permitting reforms. Chair Stein said a written conference text and DLS bill will be circulated before floor action.
