Building on Governor Martin O’Malley’s EmPOWER Maryland program, the Maryland Appliance Rebate Program will begin on April 22, 2010.

From the online rebate/coupon booklet:

This is an Allegheny Power and EmPower Maryland initiative. Costs to implement these rebate programs will be recovered through a monthly EmPower Maryland surcharge paid by all customers. The money you save through participation in one or more programs can help offset the surcharge.
