Col. (Ret.) Steve Ball of Maine understands the impact high energy costs have on seniors. Diversifying our energy sources with offshore wind will help the U.S. meet energy demand, lower costs, and strengthen our national security. Read more: https://t.co/bpMac9FMjU
While Congress debates a bill that would increase energy costs for Marylanders, we set up a fund to provide relief for customers in our state as soon as this month.
"PJM & others are blaming clean energy policy for the rising rates, and nothing could be further from the truth. In its recent capacity auction, PJM excluded two active Maryland coal plants from the supply pool, contributing as much as 65% of expected BGE bill increases."

"It’s pretty easy to find a corporate executive out there telling you that electric bills are rising because we’re moving to clean energy too quickly. They’re not telling the truth." @pjminterconnect

The parent company of BGE, Pepco and Delmarva Power will distribute $19 million to help its low- and middle-income customers in Maryland pay their bills, as rates continue to rise, it announced Thursday. https://t.co/qBRx9kEehN
Families across Maryland are bracing for spiking summer energy bills. Blame @pjminterconnect for refusing to approve new clean energy generation, which would bring down costs. We deserve accountability. Learn more: https://t.co/wFBPWUQyNG
