Creating a Clean, Affordable and Resilient Energy Future for the Commonwealth

Administration’s Energy Goals

  • 1. Reduce and stabilize the rising cost of

energy

  • 2. Continue the Commonwealth’s

commitment to a clean energy future

  • Meeting the Global Warming Solutions Act’s

(GWSA) GHG reductions: 25% by 2020 and 80% by 2050 (1990 baseline)

  • 3. Ensure that we have a safe, reliable, and

resilient energy infrastructure.

Clean Energy/Hydro Legislation

  • An Act Relative to Energy Sector Compliance with the

GWSA (S. 1965), filed July 2015

  • Allows the DOER & utilities to review competitively solicited

proposals to bring large‐scale hydroelectric power and other renewable resources to Mass.

  • 1200‐2400 MW of reliable and clean base load generation
  • Hydroelectric Power
  • Reliable, cost‐effective, and renewable generation resource
  • Available 365/24/7 to meet MA demand
  • Is necessary to meet our GHG reduction targets
  • Can save Mass. ratepayers money

Renewable Energy

  • Solar Legislation
  • An Act Relative to a

Long‐Term Sustainable Solar Industry (H. 3724), filed August 2015

  • Up to 1600 MW and

beyond

  • Three State Clean Energy RFP
  • Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island
  • Enables utilities to procure large amounts of clean energy
  • Up to 280 MW for Massachusetts
  • Posted Nov. 2015; Submissions due Jan. 28, 2016

Creating a Clean, Affordable and Resilient Energy Future for the Commonwealth

  • Alternative Portfolio Standard (APS)
  • DOER to add renewable heating/cooling technologies

to APS

  • Heat pumps, wood pellet boilers, solar hot water systems
  • Completing regulations; expect rulemaking in early

2016

  • Benefits
  • Reduce electric ratepayer costs
  • Reduce Alternative Compliance Payments (ACP)
  • Save on heating bills
  • Lower greenhouse gas emissions

Energy Storage

  • Storage is a game changer

that can play a part in solving

  • ur energy challenges
  • $10 million Energy Storage

Initiative includes two‐part study as well as demonstration projects

  • Community Clean Energy

Resiliency Initiative: $40 million in municipal resiliency projects focus on critical facilities using clean energy technology
