Utilizing funds from the Exelon/PHI merger, the Maryland Energy Administration recently granted $2M to the Regional Manufacturing Institute (RMI) in an effort to help reduce the cost of implementing energy efficiency in the manufacturing sector. Manufactures being served by Pepco or Delmarva are able to receive up to $20,000 for eligible projects at no cost.
To qualify for RMI’s Energy Efficiency Program, priority will be given to those spending a minimum of $80,000 on electricity and agree to commit to RMI’s energy engagement program.
