As reported previously the Maryland PSC sought comments on newly initiated energy storage program. This proceeding was initiated in response to legislation passed and signed into law earlier this year (HB910), which directed the Maryland 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.” Also note that the PSC established the Maryland Energy Storage Program Workgroup to facilitate the creation of the program.
Next Steps:
The MESP working group must file the Phase II final report with the MDPSC by December 31, 2025 among other things addressing an energy storage program design study recommendation.
Comments on Energy Storage Procurement proposals are due by January 2, 2026.
Hearing scheduled for January 7, 2026.
