What's Happening?
Potomac Edison, serving residential customers in Maryland, will issue Legislative Energy Relief Refund bill credits as part of the Next Generation Energy Act. These credits aim to alleviate rising electricity costs for families. Customers will receive two credits, one in September 2025 and another in early 2026, based on their average electricity usage. The initiative is funded through payments made by utilities under Maryland's renewable energy laws.
Why It's Important?
The energy relief credits are crucial for Maryland residents facing increasing electricity costs, providing financial relief and supporting household budgets. This initiative underscores the importance of legislative measures in addressing energy affordability and promoting renewable energy compliance. Potomac Edison's efforts to coordinate with state officials highlight the role of utility companies in implementing public policy aimed at consumer protection.
What's Next?
Eligible customers will automatically receive the credits, with no action required. Potomac Edison encourages donations to local energy assistance programs to further support those in need. The company will continue offering year-round programs to help manage energy usage and costs, reinforcing its commitment to customer support.
