“This analysis shows that accelerating the growth of the Renewable Portfolio Standard, increasing offshore wind and battery storage targets and removing solar net metering caps will further catalyze the clean energy economy Massachusetts has built over the last decade, creating new jobs and more choices for energy customers, with little effect on bills and rates” said NECEC Executive Vice President Janet Gail Besser and ACES Co-Leader. “As evidenced by this report, expanding clean energy markets will deliver economic, energy and environmental benefits for the Commonwealth.
“The Commonwealth of Massachusetts stands to make significant gains from ambitious action on clean energy, including thousands of good local jobs, cleaner air, and lower greenhouse gas emissions,” said Mark LeBel, Staff Attorney at Acadia Center and Co-leader of ACES. “We commend legislators in both the Senate and House for their leadership in advancing these policies and urge them to work together to open the next chapter of our clean energy era before the legislative session ends.”
