Renewable Energy Portfolio Standard - Eligible Sources - Alterations (Reclaim Renewable Energy Act of 2025)

SB 10 removes "waste-to-energy" and "refuse-derived fuel" from the list of eligible sources under Maryland's Renewable Energy Portfolio Standard (REPS). This change directly affects energy producers who previously counted waste-to-energy generation toward state renewable energy goals. The bill amends Maryland law to exclude these sources from Tier 1 renewable eligibility, effective October 1, 2025, for compliance years starting January 1, 2025. It does not alter other eligible sources like solar, wind, or qualifying biomass.
