On June 9, 2026 the Maryland PSC issued an order denying Exelon Utilities’ request for clarification seeking regulatory asset treatment for an estimated $2.5 million in program-development costs to implement the distribution-connected storage plans under the Next Generation Energy Act

In its order the Commission said that the utilities:: (1) “have not satisfactorily made a showing of adverse consequences or inability to proceed, given the modest combined $2.5 million budget needed to support program development costs” and that it “does not find it credible that [they] cannot proceed to implement their statutory requirements under the NGEA without a modification” of the order; and (2) “finds that a decision on cost recovery methods at this time would be premature,” and “will defer further discussion of cost recovery methods until a showing of bill impacts is made by the utilities at pre-award confidential conferences.”
