Weatherization can lower the cost of heating and cooling a home, make living spaces healthier & more comfortable, and reduce outside noise. A home energy assessment can determine if your home needs weatherization upgrades and help find available rebates and other cost savings.

It’s Heat Pump Water Heater Week! Water heating is one of the largest energy users in a home. When it’s time for a new water heater, consider a heat pump water heater. They use 4x less electricity than convention electric water heaters, and rebates are often available.

We were AMPed to celebrate energy storage grants with @CityofLowellMA and @townofbraintree! The community resilience grants will power critical facilities like Lowell Regional Water Utilities and Braintree DPW during power outages and lower energy costs for customers.

Our new study on the costs and benefits of Massachusetts’ SMART solar program finds it provides $1.49 in benefits to all electric ratepayers for every $1 spent, and generated more lifetime benefits than costs every year studied. Learn more: mass.gov/doer/solar-benefits…

Happy Energy Efficiency Day! Improvements like insulation and weatherization and upgrading to modern, efficient HVAC equipment can lower monthly energy bills. A free home energy assessment can find ways to save energy, and rebates and incentives to lower the cost of upgrades.

DOER was thrilled to work with @DCAMM_MA and provide funding for Salem State’s geothermal project, which will lower energy costs, create more comfortable learning and work spaces, and help tackle one of our biggest sources of emissions – large buildings.
We’re closing the loop on big energy upgrades coming to @SalemState! 💙🧡

Thank you, @MassGovernor, for your leadership to protect MA communities and ratepayers.
Data centers aren’t getting built in Massachusetts without permission from communities. Thanks to @MassGovernor, data centers must bring and pay for their own clean energy and adhere to strong water, air, and community engagement standards.

In May, MA generated more electricity from solar than any other source - the first time more power came from clean energy than fossil fuels! Solar keeps our lights on AND lowers the need to build out our grid, saving hundreds of millions $. yahoo.com/news/science/artic… via @YahooNews

It’s always bittersweet at DOER when we say goodbye to our Summer Interns. They did amazing work for our Energy Efficiency, Leading by Example, Policy & Planning, Renewables, Legal, and Coordination & Engagement teams. We can’t wait to see what they accomplish next!

DOER’s summer interns visited the @MassCEC Wind Technology Testing Center, where wind turbine blades are tested. Testing is a necessary step in the process to certify and deploy mass-produced wind turbines—for offshore and land-based wind.

On the hottest day of the year, solar energy helped keep the lights on and saved all ratepayers money by helping reduce peak electricity demand. Bringing more clean energy into MA supports electric affordability AND reliability.

We’re updating the MOR-EV Rebate Program to increase cost-effectiveness and equity and simplify the application process. DOER will hold two public hearings to outline proposed changes and hear comments. Written comments are due Sept 4th. More info: mass.gov/doer/mor-ev.

More than $8 million in Green Communities grants will help 57 cities and towns lower ongoing energy costs and upgrade schools, libraries, police and fire stations, senior centers and other municipal buildings. Congratulations to these communities across Massachusetts!
