Maryland

Summary: In 2004 the Maryland Energy Efficiency Standards Act (EESA) was passed establishing minimum energy efficiency standards on nine products. Six of the nine products covered by the EESA were preempted by the federal Energy Policy Act of 2005 immediately or by January 1st, 2007.  In 2007, Maryland created standards for an additional eight products, although four of these standards were preempted by federal standards included in the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007.
