Maryland lawmakers vote to end renewable subsidy for incineration

The move to repeal waste incineration from the state’s Renewable Energy Portfolio Standard was tucked into a broader energy package. It could cost operators like Win Waste millions in lost subsidies.

• Maryland lawmakers ended a subsidy for waste-to-energy facilities as part of an energy reform package passed on the legislature’s final day of session on Monday.
• The vote came after years of lobbying from environmental groups. WTE was first included in Maryland’s Renewable Energy Portfolio Standard, a mandate for investor-owned utilities to incorporate renewable energy sources, in 2011.
