Governor Moore Announces Open Sector Request to Identify Reliable and Cost-Saving Electric Transmission Projects
Maryland has joined eight other Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states to issue a request for information seeking project recommendations to improve grid reliability, support economic growth, and reduce electricity costs for Marylanders. The action is part of the Northeast States Collaborative鈥檚 strategic plan to explore ways to reduce costs and make energy systems more reliable. Governor Wes Moore calls this an important step forward in the mission to combat rising costs and make energy more affordable and sustainable for Marylanders. The request for information follows the May announcement of the joint strategic action plan to identify specific steps that state, regional, and federal policymakers can take to pursue interregional transmission solutions to reduce costs for consumers and make energy systems more reliable.
