About Us

We are architects, analysts, project managers, and certified energy managers who search the City for energy-saving opportunities. The Energy Division works with the DGS Facilities Maintenance Division to identify and implement energy-saving opportunities in how we operate and maintain buildings. We work with the DGS Capital Projects Division to guide investment into projects that achieve large energy savings when we make major improvements. We partner with the DGS Fleet Management Division to transition the City’s fleet to zero-emission vehicles. 

Vision

A future where clean, reliable, and affordable energy powers the City of Baltimore through continuous innovation and dynamic partnerships across agencies.

Baltimore’s Climate Goals
The City’s current goal is to achieve a 100% reduction in net greenhouse gas emissions by 2045 for City buildings and fleet. The DGS Energy Division collaborates with the Baltimore City Office of Sustainability and other agencies to develop and implement the City’s Climate Action Plan and Sustainability Plan.

What We Do

At the heart of our mission, we seek to make a difference in the lives of the families of Baltimore through cleaner air and reducing Baltimore’s contribution to climate change. But it goes beyond environment and public health. When we save money on energy costs, those dollars go towards improved services for City residents instead of to the utility company. 

The Division has three main functions: 

Energy keeps Baltimore running.
