flag Massachusetts towns use aggregation to cut energy costs and boost renewables, but state rules block local growth; SB 2301 aims to fix this.

flag Municipal aggregation powers 70% of Massachusetts residents with lower rates and more renewable energy than utility Basic Service, sourcing 1.5 million megawatt-hours annually from local projects. flag Despite this success, the state lags behind California’s Community Choice Aggregation model, which has driven $35 billion in investment to build over 20,000 MW of new renewable capacity. flag Massachusetts continues to rely on imported renewable credits rather than developing local solar, storage, and energy efficiency projects. flag The Department of Public Utilities has blocked municipal efforts to expand clean energy programs. flag Senate Bill 2301, the “Local Power for the People” initiative, seeks to modernize the state’s energy approach by enabling communities to build local renewable resources, reduce reliance on distant power, and lower long-term costs.
