Choices in Md.’s restructured energy market has saved consumers millions

Under former Gov. Parris Glendening’s 1999 Electric Choice and Competition Act, Maryland made the wise choice to join other states to restructure the market to address rising utility rates. Today, 13 states and the District of Columbia allow consumers to purchase their energy outside a single-choice, traditional monopoly utility model. Glendening recently published an op-ed, “Time to hold consumer retail energy suppliers accountable.”
