Presentation

6:45 → 11:43(4m 57s)

Jessica Yu (BGE senior manager) traced EMPOWER's evolution from a 2008 peak‑demand reduction program to the 2024 HB 864 shift to lifecycle GHG reduction, noting PJM capacity price signals and arguing utilities remain uniquely accountable to the Public Service Commission. She asked the Commission to keep program objectives aligned with statute and policy.
