Today the Maryland Energy Administration (MEA) announces $566,000 in awards for eight organizations that will fund feasibility analysis, planning, and design of microgrids bringing resilience and sustainability to Maryland communities, critical infrastructure, essential businesses, and emergency services.
Funding for these projects comes via MEA’s Resilient Maryland program, an innovative approach to support community, campus, and building-scale microgrids, advanced combined heat and power systems, resiliency hubs, and other distributed energy resource (DER) projects. Funding for this grant is made possible via the Strategic Energy Investment Fund, which MEA administers.
