Program Description: The Maryland Energy Administration (MEA) is pleased to announce that the FY22 Resilient Maryland program has opened for a second round of applications. Resilient Maryland is a competitive grant program that provides funds to help offset the costs of analyzing, planning, and designing clean and resilient distributed energy resource (DER) systems such as microgrids and resiliency hubs for Maryland communities, critical infrastructure, underserved and unserved communities, businesses, and other organizations seeking highly-reliable, sustainable, and affordable energy.

Program Purpose: Resilient Maryland is provided to help organizations identify potential ways to incorporate DERs into organizational energy management plans that improve resilience and sustainability, reduce energy burden, and safeguard essential infrastructure, services, and businesses from prolonged power outages. In its FY22 year, the program is seeking projects that pursue creative solutions, incorporate innovation, explore potentially replicable and scalable project models, and enhance energy equity to Maryland communities experiencing vulnerabilities and challenges.
