Maryland HB970 amends the renewable energy portfolio standard, renaming it the clean energy portfolio standard, and includes nuclear energy as a Tier.

Maryland HB970 revises the state's clean energy portfolio standard, previously known as the renewable energy portfolio standard, to include nuclear energy as a Tier renewable source. The bill renames "renewable energy credits" to "clean energy credits" and applies these changes retroactively to all compliance years starting from January 1, 2026. It also specifies the percentage of clean energy required from various sources, including solar, offshore wind, and post-2022 geothermal systems, for different years up to 2030.
