FY26 Program Update (8/12/25): The Maryland Energy Administration has renewed the Residential Electrification Outreach Program (“the Program”) for Fiscal Year 2026 (FY26) and will release the Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) for the FY26 program cycle in the near future.

Program Purpose:  The Maryland Energy Administration presents the Fiscal Year 2026 Residential Electrification Outreach Program (the “Program”). When implemented holistically alongside energy efficiency upgrades and renewable energy solutions, residential electrification can deliver long-term utility bill savings, improve home health and safety, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The Program supports nonprofit and community-based organizations in conducting outreach across the state to educate owners and tenants of single-family and multi-family dwellings on the benefits of building electrification, especially when paired with complementary energy upgrades. As trusted community messengers, these organizations are uniquely well-positioned to effectively communicate the benefits of electrification to the communities they serve. These outreach activities support key state climate policies, including the decarbonization mandates of the Climate Solutions Now Act (SB528 2022), with an emphasis on energy affordability for low- and moderate-income (LMI) Maryland households.
