Maryland Energy Efficiency Obligation

Source: International Energy Agency
Last updated: 5 November 2017
In 2008, the government of Maryland introduced an energy efficiency obligation for all sectors except transport, covering electricity and gas. Obligated parties include investor-owned electricity and natural gas utilities. The obligation seeks to achieve post-2015 2% savings of the utilities weather normalised gross retail sales in order to achieve 792 GWh of energy savings per year. Eligible energy efficiency measures can be applied to appliances; HVAC; lighting; building fabric; CHP; smart meters; and new buildings. Each utility directs its own primary evaluation and verification activities through its EM&V Contractor, with an independent evaluator providing independent analysis and due diligence of the EM&V process, and evaluation of broad policy issues, such as impacts on the environment, jobs, price mitigation, reliability for each of the utilities.
