The Maryland Energy Administration (MEA) has awarded a $200,000 grant for the construction of a residential microgrid to power net zero single-family homes in Fairmount Heights.
The grant was awarded to Housing Initiative Partnership (HIP), a green nonprofit affordable housing developer based in Prince George’s County, along with Pepco and Emera Technologies.
The grant will support a community solar and battery energy storage system for six low-to-moderate income households. In short, this innovative pilot project will enable the new homeowners to generate their own energy independent of the public electrical grid.
