Environment Massachusetts in Action

The Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy Committee in the Massachusetts state legislature advanced a critical clean energy bill SB2176, An Act Relative to Net-Metering. The bill would increase the availability of the net-metering program and is a critical piece of expanding clean energy production across the state.  Massachusetts' net-metering program is one of the most successful solar programs in the state.  Expanding it will allow Massachusetts to continue to be a leader in clean, renewable energy.
