Maryland Sends Renewable Energy Boosting Bill To Governor

Maryland Renewable Energy

Maryland lawmakers approved a dramatic investment in renewable energy in the final hours of the 2019 General Assembly session, passing a measure that would require the state to generate 50% of its electricity from renewable energy by 2030 and evaluate steps to reaching 100% clean energy by 2040. In 2030, the 50% renewable portfolio standard (RPS) would include 14.5% solar and add at least 1,200 MW of offshore wind.
