AGP Executive Report

Last update: 29 minutes ago

Public Utilities & Affordability: Baltimore approved a big jump in BGE’s underground conduit rent, from $2.20 to $4.05 per linear foot, with BGE warning it could flow into monthly bills as regulators weigh aging infrastructure and affordability. Cybersecurity & Devices: Researchers say malicious SIM cards can hijack phones, EV chargers, and IoT gear via “Proactive SIM,” letting attackers manipulate connectivity and potentially run commands. Data Centers & Local Impact: Amazon says its Calvert Cliffs-area data center plan was paused due to internal infrastructure planning, not local politics—after community concerns and a prior withdrawal. Energy & Grid Politics: A Maryland-area transmission line fight is heating up as lawmakers and residents oppose a Valley North project tied to keeping an old West Virginia coal plant running. Agriculture & Workforce: College of Southern Maryland launches an agribusiness workforce training certificate to help aspiring farmers start and grow operations. Food Safety: Taylor Farms recall expands, pulling hundreds of thousands of lettuce cases tied to a new FDA report. State Revenue: Maryland’s lottery and regulated gaming generated $1.637B for state programs in FY2026, including $699.8M directed to education. Housing & Flooding: Annapolis businesses along Dock Street say City Dock construction is cutting foot traffic and revenue even as the waterfront rebuild aims to reduce flooding. Utilities Shutoffs: BGE collections and residential shutoffs resume after a pause, raising pressure on households already behind on bills.
