NOW ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS!


Program Purpose: The Maryland Energy Administration (MEA) is pleased to announce funding as part of the new FY25 Electrifying Community Buildings Program. This is a competitive program that provides Maryland’s Community-Serving Buildings with the opportunity to request funding for measures that facilitate efficient electrification of building systems, which may result in lifecycle cost reductions as well as zero onsite emissions. Funding will help more Marylanders defray some of the costs of building electrification efforts and facilitate the electrification of buildings whose primary function is to serve the public, such as hospitals, medical care facilities, private K-12 schools, places of worship and similar community-serving buildings. 

This Program is being developed as a result of Governor Moore’s commitment to invest $50 million for grants to electrify hospitals, schools, multi-family housing, and other community buildings.

Type of Grant Program: The Electrifying Community Buildings Program is a competitive grant program.
