Success Stories

Projects to reduce energy use or generate electricity from renewable sources often pay for themselves through the savings from reduced utility bills. Despite the savings potential, homeowners, businesses, and non-profit organizations can be challenged to find the money for the up-front costs of such projects. MEA’s financing programs are designed to overcome this hurdle by helping customers access low-cost capital for energy improvements. Using a $600,000 Jane E. Lawton Conservation Loan from MEA, one Baltimore office building was able to save $300,000 a year on energy costs​ by replacing an aging HVAC system along with lighting and other retrofits.
