$90K Energy Efficiency Grant Awarded To Takoma Park

TAKOMA PARK, MD — The Maryland Energy Administration (MEA) approved a $90,000 grant for low-to-moderate income home energy efficiency renovations to the City of Takoma Park. The grant will assist approximately ten energy efficient makeovers for qualifying low-to-moderate income homeowners within the City.

Upon completion of the required application, eligible applicants receive a free home energy audit and assessment, which will identify which energy efficiency improvements would make the greatest impact. Possible energy upgrades include insulation improvements, draft reduction, heating and cooling equipment, appliances, and more. The average savings on electric and gas bills for participants is expected to be over $500 annually.

Residents can download an application or pick one up from Public Works at 31 Oswego Avenue Monday to Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Grants will be awarded on a first come first served basis until funds are exhausted.
