Maryland § 7-1207

§ 7-1207.

    The Commission shall include specifications in a solicitation issued under § 7–1206 of this subtitle that require each proposal for a dispatchable energy generation project and large capacity energy resource project to:

        (1)    if the project is a natural gas energy generating station, ensure that the project can be converted to use only hydrogen or a zero–emissions biofuel as the energy source when the Commission determines that the conversion is feasible;

        (2)    include a detailed description of the timeline for construction of the project, including:

            (i)    identifying the entity that has ownership or site control of the project site;

            (ii)    queue position for PJM approval;

            (iii)    the ability to procure materials, including turbines and other pipeline materials; and

            (iv)    any information that demonstrates the applicant’s:

                1.    readiness to apply for a certificate of public convenience and necessity under § 7–207 or § 7–207.4 of this title as soon as is reasonably feasible after receiving approval for the project, including the anticipated application date; and

                2.    ability to develop the project within the timeline presented;

        (3)    include a description of the location of the project site, including:

            (i)    the proximity of the site to existing transmission lines and rights–of–way; and

            (ii)    whether the project would be retrofitting a current or previous generating station site;

        (4)    if applicable, include a description of:

            (i)    the type and amount of co–located energy generation from Tier 1 renewable sources, as defined in § 7–701 of this title, that would be used with the project;

            (ii)    the amount of co–located energy storage that would be used with the project;

            (iii)    the use of carbon capture or sequestration technology to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions from the project; and

            (iv)    the amount of hydrogen or zero–emissions biofuels that the project will mix with natural gas for energy generation; and

        (5)    state the emissions intensity of the generation output over the life of the project.
