Maryland Low-Income Energy Efficiency Savings Goal
Low-income Marylanders pay an average of 13% of their annual income on energy costs, compared to 2% for non-low-income households. This translates to an average annual lowincome energy bill of $2,658, but an average annual income of only $20,038. Extremely poor households (0 to 75% of the federal poverty level) face an average annual energy bill that requires 42% of their annual income (e.g., average annual energy bill of $2,541, but an average annual income of $6,120)
