BALTIMORE, MD — The new Baltimore Energy Initiative (BEI) Loan Program is making low-interest loans available to non-profits and small businesses in Baltimore City. The loans help organizations afford energy projects that save on energy bills, reduce waste, and reduce their carbon footprint.

A workshop aimed at – but not limited to – faith-based organizations to explain the loan program is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. until 8:30 p.m., Tuesday, Jan. 27, at Govans Presbyterian Church, 5828 York Road. In the event of snow, the workshop will be held on Tuesday, Feb. 3, at the same time and location. This BEI workshop is presented in partnership with Interfaith Power & Light, an organization which works with congregations of all faiths across Maryland, D.C., and Northern Virginia to support them in saving energy, going green, and responding to climate change.

Anyone may attend the free workshop.

The BEI is a partnership of the non-profit groups The Reinvestment Fund and Healthy Neighborhoods Inc., along with the Baltimore City Department of Public Works’ Office of Sustainable Energy. 

BEI loans are made possible through an award from the Maryland Public Service Commission’s Customer Investment Fund for energy efficiency. In addition, BEI helps building owners understand, finance, and implement a range of energy measures to reduce energy waste in their buildings.
