CHAPTER 191
(House Bill 243)
AN ACT concerning
Public Service Commission - Master Metering
FOR the purpose of eliminating the requirement that certain
buildings must comply with Article 78, Section 54G of the
Code in order to be eligible for authorization for use of
central heating and cooling systems.
BY repealing and reenacting, with amendments,
Article 78 - Public Service Commission Law
Section 51(b)(1)
Annotated Code of Maryland
(1980 Replacement Volume and 1982 Supplement)
|

SECTION 1. BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF
MARYLAND, That the Laws of Maryland read as follows:
Article 78 - Public Service Commission Law
51.
(b) (1) The Public Service Commission may not authorize a
gas company, an electric company, or a gas and electric company
to service any new residential multiple occupancy building on
which construction begins after July 1, 1978 or any new shopping
center on which construction begins after July 1, 1985 unless the
building or shopping center has individual metered service for
each occupancy unit or shopping center unit that is individually
leased or owned. However, subject to rules and regulations
established by the Commission, it may authorize service to the
new shopping center[,] or a new residential multiple occupancy
building[, which complies with Section 54G,] by a gas company, an
electric company, or a gas and electric company for central
heating and cooling systems, or any combination of them when such
service has been shown to the satisfaction of the Commission to
result in a substantial net saving of energy used by these
systems over the energy saving that would result from individual
metering. The service restrictions of this subsection do not
apply to central hot water.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
SECTION 2. AND BE IT FURTHER ENACTED, That this Act shall
take effect July 1, 1983.
Approved May 10, 1983.
