Where Maryland is Putting its Microgrid Dollars: From Marginalized Communities to Food Production
By Elisa Wood, Microgrid Knowledge
Maryland last week announced winners in its resilience solicitation, 14 facilities that speak to the range of operations now pursuing microgrid projects — from marginalized neighborhoods to food production operations to a marine terminal.
The winners will divvy up $1.05 million provided by the Maryland Energy Administration’s (MEA) Resilient Maryland program. The funding will go toward completing detailed feasibility analyses, engineering, planning, and designs, positioning them to seek financing.
In all, the program attracted 25 microgrid proposals from a broad geographic and socio-economic swath of Maryland.
“The response to this pilot was incredible, in fact, it was one of our most popular programs this year,” said Mary Beth Tung, MEA director.
