From contaminated dumping ground to community asset! In Acton, a former Superfund site was transformed into a 7 MW solar array that will generate clean energy while protecting forests, supporting wildlife movement, and restoring habitats with native vegetation and replanting.

As hurricane season begins, nature is our first line of defense against severe storms. That’s why we've invested in long-term resilience at the Sandy Neck Public Beach Facility in Barnstable through our MVP Program.

From vibrant music and food to art, innovation, and community leadership, Caribbean Americans have helped shape Massachusetts in countless ways. This Caribbean American Heritage Month, we’re celebrating the people, cultures, and traditions that continue to enrich our state!

Decades ago, a gas leak at a manufacturing site forced the evacuation of nearly a quarter of Acton’s residents. Last month, we cut the ribbon on a 7 MW solar project at the former Superfund site that will generate affordable, clean energy for the community.

HVAC technicians, electricians, plumbers are in demand. Good jobs students can jump right into after high school. I'm investing $100 million to expand career technical education that students are asking for—and the skilled workforce Massachusetts needs.

250 years ago, Massachusetts started a revolution. Ever since, we’ve been the place to solve problems and build something better.   Now, we’re all in on climatetech — backed by talent, capital and a government you can count on. Great to join innovators and investors at the 3rd ClimaTech Conference.

Mass Clean Energy Center is sharing the final report from the Massachusetts #CarbonDioxideRemoval (CDR) Study, developed with RMI and @masseea.bsky.social. Read ➡️ www.masscec.com/massachusett...

As energy demand grows, Massachusetts is working with our fellow New England states to make power more reliable and affordable across the region. Together, we’re committed to exploring advanced nuclear technologies while continuing to support existing nuclear facilities.

From fusion energy to quantum physics, the technologies shaping our future are being developed here in Massachusetts. That’s why the U.S. Department of Energy is investing $30 million in our companies and universities—to turn more big ideas into businesses that change lives.

Huge win for New England families and businesses that targets one of the fastest growing components of our electric bills. @ferc.gov’s landmark decision cuts excessive transmission profits, delivering nearly $1 billion in refunds and $100 million in annual savings to ratepayers.

Access. Opportunity. Food on the table. For American Daughters of Conservation NE Chapter President Sheryl Magdyczl, common sense updates to our hunting laws is a game changer. This means more time in the field, fewer barriers to entry, and more mentorship opportunities, especially for women.

Today, @massgovernor.bsky.social signed an executive order to deliver 10 gigawatts of energy resources by 2035 – saving Massachusetts residents and businesses $10 billion and powering 2 million homes.

In a challenging year for climate action, partnership and leadership matter more than ever. We’re grateful for the support of the @cambridgemass.bsky.social Chief Climate Officer, who highlights how the Mass Ready Act connects state resources with local leadership to protect what matters most.

We’re thankful to have the support of @mapcmetroboston.bsky.social Director of Environmental Planning Van Du for the Mass Ready Act. From funding the MVP program to advancing residential flood disclosure, this bill gives communities the tools and knowledge to prepare for extreme weather.

BIG NEWS: The final reforms for Massachusetts’ energy siting and permitting process are here. We’re delivering a faster, more predictable pathway to build the clean energy infrastructure the state needs and lower costs for residents.

Preparing for extreme weather starts locally. Over $3 million in new MVP 2.0 grants will help 32 municipalities strengthen climate resilience planning and fund on-the-ground projects.

While the federal government cuts funding, Massachusetts is making sure families don’t go hungry. @massgovernor.bsky.social ’s state budget invests $55 million to support our food banks and community organizations.

EVs that can power your home during an outage and reduce electric grid costs? Now possible thanks to @masscec.bsky.social’s Vehicle-to-Everything program. This first-of-its-kind demo program uses bi-directional EV chargers to turn cars and school buses into mobile energy storage assets.

To the utility workers, plow crews, and first responders who showed up in extreme conditions to keep Massachusetts running and residents safe and warm during the winter storm — thank you for everything you do.

From feeding families to lowering energy costs, @massgovernor.bsky.social’s state budget invests big to deliver real benefits across Massachusetts.

@massgovernor.bsky.social’s state budget invests where it matters most – protecting clean air, clean water, and the land people rely on every day!

Long wait times to connect housing projects to the electric grid are slowing us down. Power Forward, launched by @massgovernor.bsky.social with @nationalgrid.bsky.social & @eversource.bsky.social, will change that — cutting delays, lowering costs, and accelerating housing development statewide.

When we produce energy locally, we create jobs locally! Vineyard Wind has delivered thousands of good-paying jobs and hundreds of millions of dollars in wages and benefits for Massachusetts workers. Bit.ly/4t5tQFa
