Maryland Lawmakers Urge FERC to Address Rising Electricity Costs Due to Out-of-State Data Centers

Maryland Lawmakers Urge FERC to Address Rising Electricity Costs Due to Out-of-State Data Centers

Maryland Congressional Delegation members, including Congressman Steny H. Hoyer and U.S. Senators Chris Van Hollen and Angela Alsobrooks, have called on the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to take action to prevent Marylanders from bearing the brunt of rising electricity costs. These costs are attributed to the increasing energy demand from data centers located outside the state. The lawmakers have urged FERC to require PJM Interconnection to implement protections ensuring fair energy costs for Maryland residents. PJM, responsible for coordinating electricity transmission in the region, has assigned approximately $2 billion in costs to Maryland ratepayers for infrastructure primarily serving out-of-state data centers. The delegation supports a complaint filed by the Maryland Office of People’s Counsel challenging PJM’s transmission cost allocation rules, which they argue unjustly assign billions of dollars in costs to Marylanders.

Maryland's High Vaccination Rate Mitigates Measles Spread Amid National Surge

Maryland has reported a significant increase in measles cases, with 12 confirmed cases so far this year, compared to just three in 2025. Despite this rise, the state's high vaccination rate of 96% has prevented further community transmission. Most cases were imported from out-of-state or international travel. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that measles cases have reached a 35-year high nationwide, with 2,318 cases confirmed across 44 states and Washington, D.C. Maryland's neighboring states, Virginia and Pennsylvania, are experiencing larger outbreaks, with vaccination rates below the recommended 96% in certain areas.

Small Modular Reactors Proposed to Address Maryland's Energy Crisis

Small Modular Reactors Proposed to Address Maryland's Energy Crisis

Developers are considering small modular reactors (SMRs) as a solution to Maryland's energy crisis. These reactors, which use TRISO fuel, offer a potential path to sustainable and reliable energy. However, commercial deployment remains years away, as regulatory and technical challenges need to be addressed. The initiative is part of a broader effort to integrate nuclear energy into the state's energy mix, aiming to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and enhance energy security.
