Maryland awarded 440 MW/1,760 MWh in its first bulk energy storage procurement under the Next Generation Energy Act, falling short of the 800 MW target amid ongoing capacity challenges in the PJM Interconnection region.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Climate Tech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You should recognise that Maryland's slower-than-targeted storage procurement signals ongoing grid capacity stress in PJM, creating openings to supply proven storage solutions. This demand underscores urgent air for innovations that can scale rapidly within state energy policies.
