- Maryland looks to bring down cost of utility bills
Maryland is expanding its energy assistance programs to help residents lower utility bills, with low-income households eligible for up to a 32% increase in benefits. The revised program covers up to 55% of annual heating costs and 47% of electric bills, supported by $48 million in supplemental grants through September. Governor Wes Moore emphasized the need to prevent families from choosing between energy costs and basic necessities.
