The Refunds & Condos Bill
Energy fund refunds go to co‑ops and condos
Maryland Strategic Energy Investment Fund - Uses - Cooperative Housing Corporations and Condominiums (Co-Op and Condo Energy Refund Equity Act)
Good for everyday people ·
The bill would send money from the state energy fund back to co‑op and condo owners as refunds or credits in 2027.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
If the bill passes, co‑op and condo owners could get lower energy bills, but the state will have less money for other energy projects, so citizens should weigh the trade‑off now.
