Fiscal Year 2022 Maryland Energy Infrastructure Program

Program Description: The Maryland Energy Administration (MEA) is pleased to announce the FY22 Maryland Energy Infrastructure Grant Program (MEIP). MEA Issues grants from the Maryland Gas Expansion Fund (MGEF) to provide funding on a competitive basis to incentive natural gas infrastructure expansion to Local Distribution Companies (LDC's), and Maryland Anchor Customers. Funding is subject to MD. PSC Order 88631.

Program Purpose: The purpose of the Maryland Energy Infrastructure Program is to incentivize natural gas infrastructure, and promote natural gas infrastructure. Natural gas is cleaner, safer, and easier to store than other fuels. Unlike electricity, natural gas is unlikely to be knocked out by a storm or rationed when demand is high. For many organizations, the cost for converting to natural gas is high,but the savings realized can create economic opportunities, including job growth.
