Description
The Residential Energy Equity program, administered by the Maryland Energy Administration (MEA), is designed to fund organizations that implement energy efficiency, electrification, and solar photovoltaic (PV) upgrades in single-family and multi-family homes across Maryland. The program’s primary goal is to ensure that low- and moderate-income (LMI) residents benefit from reduced energy costs, improved comfort, and increased access to clean energy solutions. Funding is provided to intermediary organizations—such as nonprofits and local governments—which deliver projects that align with Maryland’s statewide objectives for energy reduction, renewable energy adoption, climate action, and green workforce development. Projects must be practical, scalable, and directly benefit LMI households, contributing to both community well-being and state energy targets.
