60 communities have adopted the Specialized energy code! MA’s stretch & Specialized codes focus on directly lowering consumer energy burdens and reducing stress on our electric grid - which saves all ratepayers money. The codes also mean healthier air and more comfortable spaces.

Load management means shifting when we use energy or using less energy with efficiency. It has huge potential to save residents and businesses money and avoid significant future energy system costs. Learn how it could save $1 billion per year by 2030 at https://t.co/yZiwlTpQ8C.

Today’s temperatures are no joke, Massachusetts☀️🌡️

Here are some tips to help you beat the heat and stay safe on the first hot day of the season.

A deep energy retrofit is transforming Allston’s Brian J. Honan apartments. A $2M DOER grant helped with energy efficiency and upgrades to modern, efficient heating and hot water systems. The result: lower energy costs and healthier, more comfortable living spaces for residents.

[MassDOER @MassDOER]

We’re excited to award grants to @CapeAbilities & @Spfld_Partners for rooftop solar that will slash their electric bills and free up resources for their critical work. Non-profits and community service providers, visit https://t.co/DvBr631SDG for info and help applying.

Props to Randolph, MA’s newest Green Community! We’re excited to watch the town cut energy bills, upgrade schools and municipal buildings, and lower pollution. Randolph will work to cut municipal energy use 20% in 5 years, which will save $220,000 per year in energy costs.

[MassDOER @MassDOER]

Please be familiar with your monthly bills, understand any contract before you sign(!), and see if you can save through a municipal aggregation (a.k.a. community choice) plan, which many cities/towns offer. Find the report at https://t.co/RrYbiw6W5J.

A new MA Attorney General’s Office report shows over the last 10 years, residential customers who switched to competitive supply paid $738+ million more for electricity than if they had stayed on basic service, and the competitive supply market drives up bills for ALL ratepayers.

[MassDOER @MassDOER]

Today, with @MassCEC, we announced nearly $9 million for 13 community colleges to offer pathways to good-paying heat pump and HVAC careers for learners across the state and expand MA’s in-demand clean energy workforce. Learn more at https://t.co/hYxCGmYSxC.

Happy Earth Week! We're thinking about energy, how it affects our planet, and how DOER's work makes a difference.

[MassDOER @MassDOER]

We had fun with @MMAAdmissions and @DCAMM_MA celebrating the first wide-scale geothermal heating & cooling system at a MA public campus. The project will slash MMA’s energy costs long-term, make learning spaces comfortable year-round, and cut pollution on campus and in Bourne.

[MassDOER @MassDOER]

Welcome to the Climate Leader Communities family, Beverly, Brookline, Eastham, Sharon, Shutesbury, Warwick & Wayland! You join 28 MA leaders cutting energy costs and pollution and adding homegrown energy. And congrats to the 8 Climate Leader Communities awarded $1.1M in grants.

[MassDOER @MassDOER]

Massachusetts continues to take steps to tackle high energy costs head-on. We need more energy to lower bills and meet rising demand. The Governor’s executive order will secure 10 gigawatts of energy resources by 2035. DOER is getting after it!

[Massachusetts Energy and Environmental Affairs @MassEEA]

Today, @MassGovernor signed an executive order to deliver 10 gigawatts of energy resources by 2035 – saving Massachusetts residents and businesses $10 billion and powering 2 million homes.

[MassDOER @MassDOER]

Congratulations to the 43 Green Communities receiving grants that together total nearly $7 M. Since 2010, DOER has awarded $205 M to communities across Mass., helping reduce municipal energy costs by more than $30 M each year!

[MassDOER @MassDOER]

Massachusetts has new, streamlined energy siting & permitting processes! The reforms will help us add the homegrown energy we need to lower costs and meet rising demand.

DOER is excited to help municipalities and projects as they move forward!

[Massachusetts Energy and Environmental Affairs @MassEEA]

BIG NEWS: The final reforms for Massachusetts’ energy siting and permitting process are here. We’re delivering a faster, more predictable pathway to build the clean energy infrastructure the state needs and lower costs for residents.
