📢 New report drop: Heat Pump Rates in Massachusetts Heat pumps could cut bills for thousands of MA households—but only if the state gets the rates right. Right now, many heat pump users are being *overcharged* for their share of the grid. 1/🧵 🔗 www.switch.box/mahprates #energysky #climatesky

A new analysis from @switch.box shows that 82% of MA households could see substantial winter heating savings with high-efficiency heat pumps under proposed rate reforms! Read the full report: www.switch.box/mahprates

Forthcoming report! Heat pumps are systematically overpaying for the electricity they use. A new “heat pump-friendly” rate under consideration in MA would fix that imbalance, helping heat pumps beat natural gas on operating costs for most households. Report drops next Tue the 22nd, RSVP for webinar!

Our energy modeling lead, Bryan Murray, studies electrical grid controls…in Spain! He needs to get something off his chest about the #blackout last week: PV & batteries did not cause the Iberian blackout. In fact they will be more crucial for grid stability going forward. Here's why #energysky (1/9)

New York continues to spend billions on outdated gas infrastructure. A new @switch.box report shows targeted electrification is a smarter, cheaper path— the NY HEAT Act can make it happen. On 4/8, join us and @nyforcleanpower.bsky.social to learn more bit.ly/Electrify-NYS #NYHEATAct

Our latest report asks a simple question: What if, instead of spending billions replacing aging gas pipes, utilities helped nearby homes switch to electric heating? The data shows this would often cost less, lower utility bills, AND cut pollution.Full report: switch.box/lpp Let's break it down: 1/6
