马里兰州提出法案,通过200M基金每年节省150加元的水电费,上限为Exec支付费用,并要求数据中心支付基础设施费用。 Maryland introduces bill to save households $150 yearly on utilities via $200M fund, capping exec pay and requiring data centers to cover infrastructure costs.

马里兰州领导人于2026年3月13日推出了《水电利夫法》,有希望的平均住户在水电费账单上每年至少节省150美元。 Maryland leaders introduced the Utility RELIEF Act on March 13, 2026, promising average households save at least $150 annually on utility bills. 该法案从战略能源投资基金中拨款2亿美元——1亿美元用于直接还本付息,1亿美元用于清洁能源项目和电网升级。 The bill allocates $200 million from the Strategic Energy Investment Fund—$100 million for direct ratepayer refunds and $100 million for clean energy projects and grid upgrades. 它要求数据中心支付基础设施费用,加强低收入援助,并限制公用事业执行人员薪酬。 It requires data centers to cover infrastructure costs, strengthens low-income assistance, and caps utility executive pay. 民主党人将费用上涨归咎于联邦政策和电网失灵,而共和党人则批评法案仓促无效,认为法案重新分配现有费用而不降低费率,未能解决根本原因。 Democrats attribute rising costs to federal policy and grid failures, while Republicans criticize the bill as rushed and ineffective, arguing it redistributes existing fees without lowering rates and fails to address root causes. 现在立法提交马里兰州大会。 The legislation now moves to the Maryland General Assembly.
