Lowering Costs for Marylanders

The Moore-Miller Administration is working to make the state an affordable home for all Marylanders. That's why Governor Moore has taken executive action and worked with the General Assembly to lower costs, including passing the most comprehensive housing package of any administration in recent history, provided direct utility fee relief and incentivized new energy generation, banned predatory pricing in grocery stores, and more. The administration is continuing to take steps to lower costs, and make life more affordable for Marylanders.

Impacts for Marylanders

$100 Million

Governor Moore worked with the legislature to put $100 million back in people's pockets through utility fee relief while investing in clean energy infrastructure and research on energy resiliency.

$306 Million

This year's budget invested a historic $306 million for renewable and clean energy programs in the Maryland Energy Administration to make energy more affordable.

Energy Price Cap

After leading a bipartisan group of governors to the White House in January, Governor Moore secured a price cap from PJM through 2030 that saves an additional $27 billion on their energy bills.

$2.7 Billion

Invested $2.7 billion in FY25 for programs that increase the housing supply, support renters and homeowners, and make housing more accessible.

The Protection from Predatory Pricing Act

Governor Moore introduced the Protection from Predatory Pricing Act and worked with the General Assembly to prevent Marylanders from being charged different prices for groceries based on personal data.

Lowering the Cost of Energy

In addition to the $100 million back in people's pockets, PJM's price cap, and the $306 million for renewable and clean energy programs, the Governor and the legislature required data centers to cover the costs for their own energy infrastructure upgrades and ensure they pay their fair share of energy costs.

Making Housing More Affordable

The Moore-Miller administration worked with the legislature to pass the Renters' Rights and Stabilization Act which creates the Maryland Tenants Bill of Rights, saves renters money by reducing required security deposits and creates new pathways to homeownership by providing tenants the opportunity to purchase their homes.
