What states are eligible to participate in RPS?
Section 7-701(i) of the Public Utility Companies Article of the Annotated Code of Maryland provides the framework by which the states eligible to participate in the Maryland RPS Program may be determined. Renewable energy credits must be derived from a source that is either located in the PJM Region or in a state that is adjacent to the PJM Region. Renewable energy credits may come from outside the area described above if the electricity is delivered into the PJM Region. Section 20.61.01.03B(15) of the Code of Maryland Regulations (“COMAR”) defines “state adjacent to the PJM Region” as a state that shares a border with the PJM Region or which the PJM Region partially overlaps.
