MEA Incentives

The Maryland Energy Administration (MEA) manages grants, loans, rebates, and tax incentives designed to help attain Maryland's Goals in energy reduction, renewable energy, climate action, and green jobs. Through the programs below, MEA helps Maryland residents, businesses, non-profits, and local governments implement energy efficiency upgrades and install renewable energy systems.

All of MEA's grant agreements are covered by standardized General Provisions. Click the following link to review these General Provisions:

Census Tract Eligibility for Programs Funded through Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS) Alternative Compliance Payments: Chapter 98 of the Maryland Acts of the General Assembly (HB550) modified the allowable uses of Maryland Renewable Portfolio Standard compliance fees. As a result, programs funded by these Alternative Compliance Payments will be geographically restricted to certain eligible census tracts. Click here for more information on the eligible census tracts.
