Competitive Procurement Energy Storage Hearing Held
A Maryland energy storage competitive procurrent program hearing was held January 7, 2026.
A copy of the agenda available here.
As background, the Maryland Public Service Commission (PSC) opened this proceeding in response to legislation passed and signed into law earlier this year (HB910).
The new law among other things directs the PSC to establish “a Maryland Energy Storage Program that provides a competitive energy storage procurement program, with annual deployment targets for energy storage devices in Maryland.”
The Commission established the Maryland Energy Storage Program (MESP) Workgroup to facilitate the creation of this program.
The MESP working group must file the Phase II final report with the MDPSC by July 1, 2026, that addresses an energy storage program design study recommendation and any other matter needing PSC direction.
MDPSC Rulemaking No. RM85
