Description
The Maryland Energy Administration's Residential Energy Equity – Heat Pumps program is a forthcoming initiative (launching in Fiscal Year 2027) to fund high-efficiency heat pump installations and replacements for low- and moderate-income (LMI) households in Maryland. The program is part of the state's broader efforts to improve home energy efficiency, electrify residential heating and cooling, and reduce reliance on fossil fuels, thereby supporting Maryland’s climate and energy equity goals. By targeting income-eligible residents, the program aims to lower energy burdens, enhance comfort, and complement other residential equity programs such as the Inflation Reduction Act Home Energy Rebate Programs.
