In 2023 the Moore Administration took an aggressive approach on changing energy generation to the State. Governor Moore signed ‘The Power Act’ this was a step to push Maryland more to renewable energy: Wind & Solar. Then in 2024 the Moore Administration worked with the legislature to increase regulations on traditional energy providers to drive up energy rates on citizens and businesses to push them to wind and solar. Currently Wind & Solar are still not ready for prime time, and Maryland is facing an energy crisis that has driven up rates around the State by a 1000 Percent since 2023.
This past session in Annapolis the legislature passed aggressive legislation to aggressively “transform” farmland around the State into Solar Farms. The 1st big project is happening in Cecil County, and the town of Betterton is saying there are some issues with the town’s master plan on this. In addition, there are major issues on an energy project in Western Maryland, the Piedmont Reliability Project running power lines across multiple counties to power Data Centers in Virginia. Also down on the Eastern Shore Ocean City, MD & Bethany Beach, DE there was a plan to build “Offshore Wind” Windmills. Both the Piedmont project & The Offshore wind projects have been met with heavy resistance by local citizens and businesses, to the point of legal litigation. Both projects were largely rammed through by Annapolis without input from the local communities first.
Under the 3 years of the Moore Administration, the direction the State has taken on energy has put Maryland in an energy crisis. The next Governor of Maryland should by Executive Order on Day 1, roll back all the regulations the current Administration has put on “traditional energy providers” to bring instant relief to Maryland’s Small Businesses & Working Families on their energy /electric rate/bill. Then immediately go to work on a Maryland Based, Maryland Centric, and Maryland Owned comprehensible energy plan to bring clean, reliable, and affordable energy generation to Maryland’s Small Businesses and Working Families across the State.
