NEWS: Maryland is rolling out a (catchy) $200M clean energy auction program.

Earlier this week, Gov. Wes Moore announced the “Megawatts for Maryland” program, which will offer grants to storage and renewable developers to offset development and construction costs. The goal? To boost in-state generation (by “hundreds of megawatts”) and lower Marylanders’ steep power bills in the process.

So, where’s that cash coming from? Payments made by electricity suppliers who don’t meet the state’s renewable portfolio standard.
