Baltimore, M.D. —In conjunction with the House of Delegates earlier this week, the Maryland State Senate voted today to override Governor Hogan’s veto of the Clean Energy Jobs Act. The bill, which was vetoed last May, will increase and accelerate the state’s Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) requirement from 20 percent by 2022 to 25 percent by 2020 ensuring more homes and businesses benefit from renewable energy across the state and region.
