The AACE Act and You

Abundant Energy Icon

Abundant Energy

Generate more energy in Maryland and increase the storage capacity of Maryland’s electric distribution and transmission systems, which will benefit customers and enhance reliability.

Affordable Energy Icon

Affordable Energy

Protect ratepayers from increasing energy prices, make procurement of clean energy more competitive and efficient, and improve Maryland’s supplier diversity and energy independence.

Clean Energy Icon

Clean Energy

Bring more clean energy from solar and wind projects online in Maryland and thereby improving our grid’s capacity and reliability.

Reliability Icon

Enhanced Reliability

Create a market for battery storage projects, change the way we finance solar projects, and direct transmission for offshore wind to address Maryland's energy load.

Protection Icon

Ratepayer Protection

Introduce new ratepayer protections using funds from the RPS’s Alternative Compliance Payments (ACPs) and state energy use & franchise tax generated from data centers.

Jobs Icon

Create Local Jobs

Meet rising demand for electricity with clean energy technologies and protect and create family-supporting local jobs, build health and wealth across the state, and incorporate labor standards into all projects.

Why It Matters for Maryland

Maryland stands at a crossroads. Without bold action, we risk rising energy costs and possible reliability challenges as demand continues to climb. The AACE Act offers a clear path to affordable, reliable clean energy while protecting ratepayers.

By generating more clean power right here in Maryland, we reduce the need for costly transmission lines and create local jobs. The AACE Act's profit-sharing approach ensures that as clean energy becomes more profitable, those savings go straight back to Maryland families—not out-of-state corporations.

This forward-thinking solution helps us meet our climate goals while keeping energy stable and affordable for everyone. Make your voice heard—reach out to your legislator and urge them to pass the AACE Act today.
