Maryland’s Utility RELIEF Act, a law packaged as a way to save Marylanders at least $150 annually on their energy utility bills, took effect on Wednesday, as legislators across the United States look to save ratepayers money.

“The bipartisan Utility RELIEF Act speeds up new energy generation, it invests in local clean energy, and it stops big corporations from shifting their costs onto taxpayers,” Gov. Wes Moore (D-MD) said during his May signing ceremony of the bill.
