Farm Energy Audit ProgramFarm Energy Audit Program Lauded as "Exceptional" The Maryland Energy Administratrion's (MEA) Statewide Farm Energy Audit Program has been recognized as one of five "exceptional state-led energy efficiency programs." The American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) evaluated energy efficiency programs across the country, and the inclusion of the Farm Energy Audit Program represents MEA's commitment to the EmPower Maryland goal of reducing energy consumption by 15 percent by 2015. "To stand shoulder to shoulder with national leaders in energy efficiency puts the Maryland Energy Administration in good company," said MEA Director Malcolm Woolf, "but this honor only encourages us to continue the hard work that makes Maryland Smart, Green & Growing." The now award-winning Farm Energy Audit Program offers audits, technical assistance, and financial assistance for Maryland agricultural producers. Since 2007, the program has saved nearly 2 million kWh of electricity, 30,000 gallons of propane, and 530,000 therms of natural gas. This reduction in energy consumption represents approximately $580,000 in annual energy cost savings for agricultural producers in Maryland. In addition to saving citizens money on annual energy bills, energy efficiency programs allow consumers to reduce the strain on Maryland's energy grid and increase the number of existing "green" jobs throughout the state.
