As Maryland positions itself as a hub for emerging technologies, energy capacity has become a real constraint. Demand from data centers, electric vehicles, and an increasingly digital and connected economy is rising faster than in-state power generation. This session explores what the future energy mix must look like to support growth, reliability, and competitiveness. We’ll examine the role of renewables, the current limits of the Maryland grid, PJM’s regional challenges, and the power and resource needs of next-generation infrastructure, including data centers and quantum computing.
