Description
The Residential Energy Equity program, administered by the Maryland Energy Administration (MEA), provides competitive grants to nonprofit organizations and local governments. The goal is to advance energy equity by funding projects that deliver energy efficiency, electrification, and solar photovoltaic (PV) upgrades to single-family and multi-family homes occupied by low- and moderate-income (LMI) Maryland residents. The program is designed to support Maryland's objectives to reduce energy consumption, promote renewable energy adoption, and ensure that LMI communities benefit from sustainable energy solutions.
