Description
Residential Energy Equity is a competitive grant program administered by the Maryland Energy Administration (MEA) within its residential buildings portfolio. It supports organizations implementing energy efficiency improvements, home electrification, and solar photovoltaic (PV) upgrades that benefit low- and moderate-income Maryland residents. Work may serve both single-family and multifamily homes.
The program directs funding to organizations carrying out these improvements rather than to residents directly. Its focus brings the three types of residential energy upgrades together under an equity-centered purpose. The FY27 planning notice identifies nonprofits and local governments serving low- and moderate-income residents as its target applicants. Program design and requirements are subject to change, with specific requirements established in the individual Funding Opportunity Announcement.
