Electrify Baltimore County:
For Clean, Green All-Electric Buildings

Electrify Baltimore logo

Supporting County-wide legislation for all-new electric buildings

Get dangerous gas out of our buildings

Help meet MD's statewide goal of 60% reduction in emissions by 2031

The movement to #ElectrifyEverything is growing in Maryland! Montgomery and Howard Counties recently passed legislation to electrify new buildings and homes. In a state – Maryland – committed to a carbon-free electrical grid in coming years, we need to act now to make sure new buildings are equipped with electric hot water systems and heat pumps for space heating and cooling, creating a zero-greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions future.

Councilmember Izzy Patoka has already expressed his full-throated support for an all-electric new building code. Thank you! Now it’s up to us to make sure this bill is introduced and passed as quickly as possible.
