BGE, Delmarva Power and Pepco commend Governor Wes Moore for outlining a bold, pragmatic, and "all-in" energy strategy during his State of the State address today (Feb 12).
The Governor's call to "work together to bring more energy to Maryland" and his recognition that "we can't depend on other states" underscores a critical reality: Maryland must strengthen its in-state generation to protect reliability and affordability for customers. His commitment to doubling down on solar, wind, and battery storage, alongside the need for dispatchable natural gas and nuclear generation, reflects the balanced, all-of-the-above approach required to meet growing demand.
We appreciate the Governor's leadership in advancing policies that align energy growth with energy supply and acknowledge our state cannot solve its energy crisis by preserving the status quo.
We share the Governor's belief that building here, and building now, is the bold step our state must take to ensure all Marylanders benefit from an affordable, secure energy future.
We look forward to partnering with state leaders to implement this comprehensive energy agenda.
