NOTE: Beginning on
September 1, 2023, applicants
must use the most up-to-date version of the Residential Clean Energy Rebate Application Form (or e-Application Signature Sheet, if applying online).
MEA
will not accept outdated versions of the Residential Clean Energy Rebate Application Form (or e-Application Signature Sheet) on or after September 1, 2023. An applicant whose application that is rejected for this reason is free to re-apply using the current application form (or e-Application signature sheet).
Application Submission Guidance: Submission of applications through MEA’s online web portal is the preferred application process. If you submit an application using the web portal, look for the “signature sheet” that will IMMEDIATELY be sent to your email address in response from
no-reply@egov.com. In order for your application to be considered complete, you must fill in your name, date, and social security number on this sheet, sign it, and mail it to MEA. Without this signature sheet, MEA will not consider your application to be complete and will not process it.
To minimize rebate processing times, MEA developed a process that enables the electronic submission of Clean Energy Rebate Program “paper applications," e-Application signature sheets “signature sheets”, and IRS Form W9s, via Virtru, the State of Maryland’s secure email
encryption tool. If you are interested in this option, please send an email indicating your interest in doing so to
cerp.mea@maryland.gov.
Do not attach your application to this initial email. Please indicate your first and last name, your zip code, and your email address in the body of the email. Someone from MEA will then contact you with more information about how to submit your application via Virtru. More information about Virtru can be found on the Maryland Department of Information Technology's webpage at: https://doit.maryland.gov/support/Pages/email-encryption.aspx.
Historical Reviews: MEA will no longer refer Residential Clean Energy Rebate Program projects to the Maryland Historical Trust for review; however, applicants must obtain permission for a project from all local historic preservation commissions with authority over the project, if required. MEA may deny an application if the project results in an adverse effect on a historic property.
For more information, contact MEA regarding the Residential Clean Energy Rebate Program by email at
cerp.mea@maryland.gov or by phone at 410-537-4000 to speak with an MEA energy specialist.
