128. Maryland’s Smart Energy Savers Program EXPLAINED: How to Get No-Cost LED Lighting for Your Business

Businesses across Maryland have a unique opportunity to upgrade their lighting systems at little to no cost thanks to the BGE & Delmarva Smart Energy Savers Program. This initiative helps businesses switch to energy-efficient LED lighting while significantly reducing expenses. If you're currently using outdated fluorescent or HID lighting, this program could save you thousands while cutting energy costs for years to come.

What is the Maryland Smart Energy Savers Program?

The Maryland Smart Energy Savers Program, supported by BGE (Baltimore Gas & Electric) and Delmarva Power, is designed to encourage businesses to make energy-efficient upgrades. Utility companies offer incentives that can cover up to 100% of the cost of replacing outdated lighting with new, high-efficiency LED fixtures.

This program is similar to the well-known Cash for Clunkers program, but for lighting—your business has already contributed to the fund through utility payments, so taking advantage of it is simply reclaiming the benefits you’re entitled to.

Who Qualifies?

Many commercial and industrial businesses throughout Maryland qualify for this program. Eligible facilities include:

• Warehouses

• Big Box Retailers

• Manufacturing Facilities

• Office Buildings

• Gymnasiums

• Pole Lighting for Parking Lots & Outdoor Areas

• Schools & Universities

• Nonprofit Organizations

If your business falls into one of these categories and is currently using older fluorescent or HID lighting, you could qualify for LED lighting at no cost.

What’s Covered?

Through this program, qualifying businesses can receive: LED Warehouse & Outdoor Lights – These high-performance fixtures typically retail for $250+ each, but through the program, they are available at no cost. 4’ LED Tubes for Fluorescent Replacements – Available at a discounted rate of just $5 per tube, these provide an affordable way to upgrade existing fluorescent lighting. 50,000-Hour Lifespan & 5-Year Warranty – LEDs last much longer than traditional lighting, reducing both replacement and maintenance costs. Energy Savings of 50% or More – Lower monthly utility bills while improving lighting quality.
