Program Description: The Maryland Energy Administration welcomes proposals for energy projects and initiatives outside of the agency’s suite of established programs to foster innovation and create opportunities for efforts that are not eligible for MEA’s sector-specific energy programs offered in a given fiscal year.
The agency's OPEN Energy Innovation Program is a competitive program designed to support forward-thinking energy projects that drive greenhouse gas reductions, equity in energy projects, and energy affordability. Program Purpose: The primary focus of this Program is to fund Capital Projects (meaning you're building or creating something tangible) that lead to increased clean energy development within the State of Maryland.
Applications to the Program should be for projects that have the potential to be scalable and replicated to benefit new sectors of the economy or demonstrate the deployment of new emerging technologies and provide a public benefit beyond a single project or activity, in support of Maryland's energy and environmental goals. Proposals must be consistent with MEA's mission and address the topics outlined in the FOA below.
Type of Program: Competitive Grant. Program Application Deadline: February 27, 2026, 11:59 PM EST Anticipated Program Budget: A total of $7,000,000 is anticipated to be available from the Strategic Energy Investment Fund. The total amount awarded may be more or less, depending on availability of funds, the restrictions on funds, and the number and quality of applications received.
