MD Energy Administration awards $24M to electrify public schools
Generation180 and the Maryland Energy Administration (MEA) Thursday awarded $24 million in grants to state schools through the Decarbonizing Public Schools Program to promote sustainability and clean energy.
The Decarbonizing Public Schools Program grants are funding a range of projects in school districts from every corner of the state, including the installation of solar and geothermal systems, electrification of HVAC systems, LED lighting upgrades, energy data management and Net Zero Energy school construction.
Generation180 has been a project partner and has supported the Decarbonizing Public Schools Program since its announcement in early 2024. Through virtual information sessions and direct communication with school district leaders, Generation180 educated the Maryland K-12 school community about the benefits and opportunities available through state funding.
Through Generation180’s School Leadership in Clean Energy (SLICE) Network, school leaders managing the awarded funds in these districts will receive direct support from their peers who are working on similar projects in their own district and education and updates on future opportunities to support their decarbonizing goals.
