Conserving Energy

Energy and how we use it, touches every Marylander-- from the cost of heating and cooling our homes and businesses to our impact on the environment.


Green Energy Alternatives

As Maryland moves to quickly build a vibrant clean energy sector and strives to create 100,000 "green-collar" jobs by 2015, the Clean Energy Economic Development Initiative (CEEDI) Support Program assists in the growth of a clean energy industry throughout the State.

Under the leadership of the O'Malley- Brown Administration, Maryland is working towards meeting its goal of generating 20% of its energy from clean, renewable sources by 2022.
