Description
The Public Service Commission of Maryland is seeking a contractor to design a successor net energy metering program (NEM 2.0) to replace the current NEM 1.0 program. The contractor will develop a NEM 2.0 tariff framework design that balances fair compensation for grid services with ratepayer costs and benefits. The contractor will also coordinate with various workgroups, develop a NEM 2.0 Value Stack Calculator, and provide post-implementation support. The project goals include increasing ratepayer benefits, providing fair compensation to eligible customer-generators, and making progress toward state clean energy goals.
Key aspects of the project include:
• Development of a NEM 2.0 tariff framework design
• Coordination with the NEM 2.0 Work Group and other stakeholders
• Development of a NEM 2.0 Value Stack Calculator
• Post-implementation support for up to six months after the July 1, 2027 implementation
The contractor will be required to submit various deliverables, including a NEM 2.0 Tariff Framework Report and a NEM 2.0 Value Stack Calculator. The contract duration is expected to be 24 months, with a possible extension for post-implementation support.
