In 1997, the Task Force to Study Retail Electric Competition and the Restructuring of the Electric Utility Industry was formed (Chapter 106, Acts of 1997).
The Task Force is to evaluate the impact of implementing retail electric competition in Maryland. In particular, the Task Force will note how such competition would affect generators of electricity; Maryland citizens and businesses; local property and use taxes; and social, environmental and other public service functions provided by the regulated electric utility industry. The Task Force also will note how competition would affect alternative energy sources. In addition, the Task Force is to identify, document, and study the restructuring of the electric utility industry in other states, and the terms by which it is being offered or has be rejected in other states.
