Gov. Wes Moore Signs the POWER Act
On April 21, 2023, Governor Wes Moore signed the POWER Act into law, legislation that will help make Maryland the offshore wind capital of the U.S.
The POWER Act sets a goal for the state to quadruple the amount of wind offshore energy produced in the state by 2031.
The governor signed the bill at Tradepoint Atlantic, the global distribution center in Eastern Baltimore County. Tradepoint is where Bethlehem Steel once was, at its peak employing 30,000 people before it withered away.
