Maryland Save Energy Now supports the State's industrial sector by offering local access to low cost facility energy assessments, energy efficiency training, financial incentives, and tools and resources.
The MEA has teamed with the University of Maryland Manufacturing Assistance Program (UMMAP) to offer low cost facility energy assessments and implementation support for energy efficiency projects and installation of energy-efficient technologies. Software tools and training on industrial energy efficiency are being provided in partnership with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and local training experts. The Maryland Save Energy Now team offers assistance to companies in identifying project financing opportunities, including loans, grants, and other tools that apply to specific businesses and projects. The team also offers assistance to industrial plants that have the potential to use combined heat and power (CHP). Annual electricity production from CHP in Maryland is estimated to be over 2,000 gigawatt hours (GWh).
BACKGROUND: Maryland Save Energy Now supports EmPOWER Maryland, an initiative to meet the Governor's goal of reducing per-capita electricity use and peak demand 15% by 2015. Maryland Save Energy Now is part of the national Save Energy Now program sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy's Industrial Technologies Program. The State program has been launched via a U.S. DOE grant made possible with funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
