Upcoming Increase in RPS in Maryland
Direct Energy Business is partnering with BOX to advise our brokers of the upcoming increase in RPS (Renewable Portfolio Standard) in Maryland. This provides a huge opportunity to review your Maryland business for both renewals and new.
- MD RPS rates will be rising significantly for any contract signed after 10/1/19. Any contract signed and executed prior to 10/1/19 will be grandfathered and the rate increase will not apply to the full term of the contract.
- RPS rate is expected to increase approximately $3.00 per MWh.
- For customers 1,000 MWh and greater, DEB will offer a long term full pass-through product for those customers that are not comfortable with long term. With the ability to Fix Energy component via layers or 100% at the customers discretion. Ability to exit contract with a 30 day notice, damages apply only to the Fixed Energy.
- For the smaller customer it is just recommended that they extend as far as their contract will allow them.
*What is RPS? Renewable Portfolio Standard is a regulation that requires more renewable energy.
All the Best,
