The funding is from the agency’s Resilient Maryland program, which aims to help eligible organizations and governmental entities set up microgrids, resiliency hubs, resilient facility power systems and advanced combined heat and power (CHP) systems.
“Maryland continues to lead by example, providing funding to help Maryland communities and organizations address energy resiliency through the use of cleaner and renewable energy options,” Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan said May 25.

The microgrid grants are designed to overcome that hurdle so projects can gain financing and move ahead, the agency said.
