The Old Line State's fossil-to-electric push.

Maryland's EmPOWER program (administered through BGE, Pepco, Delmarva, SMECO, and Potomac Edison) pays up to $15,000 to switch from fossil heating to a heat pump system. Maryland Solar Access pays $750/kW up to $7,500 for solar, one of the few states with both an active solar rebate and a state energy storage program.
