The Maryland Energy Administration (MEA) has approximately $3.2 million in EmPOWERing Clean Energy Communities grant funds available to non-profit organizations, community groups, and local governments that serve Maryland’s low-to-moderate income households. The EmPOWERing Clean Energy Communities grants will be competitively awarded to energy efficiency projects that generate significant energy savings, with the financial benefits of the energy savings being passed on to Maryland’s low-to-moderate income residents.
In order to ensure an equitable distribution of grant funds statewide, each Maryland county (or county equivalent) has been assigned an allocation of grant funds based on the number of low-to-moderate income households residing in the respective county (or county equivalent).
County Allocations
Grant applications will be due back to MEA on Monday, January 11th, 2010.
Informational meetings and a conference call will be held in order to provide potential applicants with an overview of the 2010 grant program as well as to answer questions.
