1 Energy Efficiency Appliance/Equipment Efficiency Standards Building Energy Codes Utility Demand-Side-Management Utility Rate Realignment Energy Savings Targets/Energy Efficiency Resource Standards Minimum energy efficiency standards for nine categories of appliances Residential and Commercial: Maryland Building Performance Standards based on the 2006 IECC, mandatory statewide Residential and Commercial: Updated code to 2009 IECC mandatory statewide 15% demand side management by 2015 based on 2007 baseline Requires an electric company to include procedures for the competitive selection of heating, ventilation, air conditioning, or refrigeration service providers in its electricity savings and demand reduction plan (SB 1095) Decoupling in natural gas and electricity markets Goal to reduce per capita consumption and peak demand 15% by 2015 The Community Energy Loan Program provides financing for local governments and nonprofit organizations to identify and implement energy conservation improvements; SLAP is a revolving state agency loan program to be used for energy performance contracting or improvements The Maryland Strategic Energy Investment Fund will direct proceeds from the RGGI auction to energy efficiency and renewable energy programs as well as bill payment assistance for low income consumers Offers an income tax credit nonresidential and residential multifamily buildings of at least 20,000 sq. ft. that are constructed or rehabilitated to meet criteria set forth by the U.S. Green Building Council or other similar criteria (newly constructed buildings must be located on a qualified brownfields site, or in a priority funding area, and not in a wetlands area) The Change a Light program encourages Marylanders to change at least one incandescent light bulb to a compact fluorescent light bulb annually; Home Performance with Energy Star is a market transformation program to train and certify contractors to provide whole-house diagnostics and improvements to customers homes; the weatherization program provides assistance for low income energy efficiency improvements Allows for Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) financing (HB 1567) Required the Department of Housing and Community Development to encourage the construction of new residential structures that are high performance homes. Highperformance homes are those that meet or exceed a LEED silver rating (HB 630). Established a rebate program administered by the Maryland Energy Administration for energy efficiency improvements in single-family residences in Maryland through the Home Performance with Energy Star Program. Created a sales and use tax holiday for certain energy-efficient appliances, beginning in Localities in Maryland have suspended most PACE programs due to the The Federal Housing Financing Agency s (FHFA) July 2010 concerning the senior lien status associated with most PACE programs.
2 Clean Electricity Renewable/Alternative Energy Portfolio Standards and Goals Net Metering and Interconnection Standards Requires that 20% of the state s electricity supply come from renewable sources by 2022; utilities demonstrate compliance by acquiring renewable energy credits (RECs) Altered the renewable energy portfolio standard by increasing the percentages of electricity sales that must be met in specified years through the accumulation of renewable energy credits from certain sources, redefines a specified renewable energy credit, increases the maximum allowable alternative compliance payment, subject to a certain limitation (COMAR et seq.) Accelerated the annual solar energy requirements and the solar alternative compliance schedule, will take effect in 2011 (SB 277) Increased the annual percentage requirements under Maryland s Renewable Energy Portfolio Standard (RPS) for electricity from solar energy sources between 2011 and 2016 to 0.5% (SB 277). Expanded the definition of a Tier 1 renewable sources to include waste-to-energy and refuse-derived fuel (S.B. 690). Included energy from a specified solar water heating system as an eligible resource for meeting the renewable energy portfolio standard (S 717). Interconnection standards for all eligible systems up to 2 MW; systems owned or leased by residents, businesses, schools or government entities that generate electricity using solar, wind or biomass resources are eligible for net metering until the aggregate capacity of all net-metered systems reaches 1,500 MW; developing interconnection standards for all distributed generation Extended net metering policies to micro-combined heat and power systems and third-party ownership structures (HB 1057, SB 981) Extended net metering to qualifying fuel cell electricity generation equipment, effective October 2010 (HB 821) Revised how customer-generators are compensated for net excess generation (NEG) (HB 801) Requires NEG to be carried forward from month to month as a monetary credit whose value is determined by the prevailing market price Customer-generators may also receive payment for NEG remaining at the end of a 12 month period Maryland Public Service Commission (PSC) developing regulations to implement the revision, including a method for determining the value of NEG credits PSC to convene a working group to address time differentiated crediting, as well as meter aggregation and credit transfers for agricultural, non-profit, and governmental customer-generators Extended net metering policies to closed conduit hydro facilities (SB 271).
3 Shale Gas Development, Regulation and Policy The governor signed an executive order establishing the Marcellus Shale Safe Drilling Initiative to assist state policymakers and regulators in determining whether and how gas production from the Marcellus Shale in Maryland can be accomplished without unacceptable risks of adverse impacts to public health, safety, the environment and natural resources. The advisory committee will submit its recommendations for best practices for all aspects of natural gas exploration and production in the Marcellus Shale in Maryland by August 1, A final report which will include findings and recommendations relating to the impact of Marcellus Shale drilling including possible contamination of groundwater, handling and disposal of wastewater, environmental impacts, impacts to forests and important habitats, greenhouse gas emissions and economic impact will be issued no later than August 1, The Maryland Strategic Energy Investment Fund will direct proceeds from the RGGI auction to energy efficiency and renewable energy programs as well as bill payment assistance for low income consumers; offers rebates for residential and commercial geothermal heat pump property; provides financial incentives to homeowners, businesses, local governments and non-profit organizations that install solar waterheating systems or solar-electric systems Offers a production tax credit for electricity generated by wind, geothermal energy, solar energy, hydropower, small irrigation power, municipal solid waste and biomass resources; offers a corporate income tax credit for photovoltaics, wind turbines and fuel cells that serve a green whole building, a green base building, or green tenant space; provides a property tax exemption for residential solar energy systems; requires that solar heating and cooling system be assessed the same as traditional sources for tax purposes; exempts from the state sales tax all wood or refusederived fuel used for residential heating purposes Provides grants for small wind energy systems through the Windswept program Created an income tax credit of $0.03/gallon for purchases of biodiesel used for space heating or water heating Residential wind energy equipment and devices that use solar thermal electric energy are eligible for property tax exemption (HB 1171) Sales tax exemption for residential wind energy equipment Revised the definition of solar energy equipment so that other systems in a net metering type arrangement could also be sales tax exempt Reopened the Windswept Grant Program application period in 2009 to provide funds for the installation of wind energy systems of at least 1 kw (over 20 kw approved on a case-by-case basis) Revised corporate tax credit for renewable energy systems (HB 494) Extends the facility in service deadline from 2010 to 2015 Sets a minimum tax credit limit of $1,000 Makes excess tax credits refundable Established a fund for the management of coal combustion by-products, authorizes the Department of the Environment to establish and collect fees (HB 1556) Authorized political subdivisions to enact an ordinance or a resolution establishing a Clean Energy Loan Program to provide loans to residential and commercial property owners for the financing of energy efficiency and renewable energy projects (HB 1567)
