The Public Service Commission of Maryland convened on May 18, 2025, to address several key issues, primarily focusing on the status of Charity Power Plus Power, a licensed company in the state. The meeting began with staff reporting that the company had expressed a desire to cancel its license but failed to follow the standard procedure for doing so. Despite multiple reminders, the company did not submit a formal cancellation request or maintain its required bond, leading staff to recommend the revocation of its license due to non-compliance with COMAR regulations.

Staff highlighted that Charity Power Plus Power owes $100 in outstanding assessments for failing to submit its 2023 gross operating revenues form. This penalty is standard for suppliers who do not meet submission deadlines. Additionally, the company has no current renewable portfolio standard obligations, complaints, or active customers in Maryland. However, it is not in good standing with the Department of Assessments and Taxation due to the late filing of its annual report.

The commission discussed the implications of the company's non-compliance and the potential for recovering the owed $100. Staff outlined several options for the commission, including sending the debt to collections. They noted that while the bond remains in effect until the end of the business day, the likelihood of recovering funds through a bond claim is uncertain, as such claims are rare.

The meeting concluded with staff available for questions, emphasizing the need for clarity on the commission's recourse regarding the outstanding debt and the company's compliance status. The discussions underscored the importance of regulatory adherence and the consequences of failing to maintain proper licensing and financial integrity within the state's energy sector.
