Description
The Residential Energy Equity program, managed by the Maryland Energy Administration (MEA), provides competitive grants to nonprofit organizations and local government entities. The program is designed to fund projects that deliver energy efficiency improvements, electrification (such as heat pump installations), and solar photovoltaic (PV) upgrades to single-family and multi-family homes occupied by low- and moderate-income Maryland residents. The goal is to reduce energy costs, improve home sustainability, and ensure equitable access to clean energy technologies across Maryland communities.
