High energy bills pose a serious challenge across American householdsand the drivers behind rising energy costs are complex and varied. Massachusetts recently introduced legislation that aims to address energy affordability in a variety of ways, from alternative financing strategies and procurement reforms to enhanced energy efficiency programs and geothermal programs.

During the webinar, Advanced Energy United and the Alliance for Climate Transition held an informative discussion with state leaders and policy experts to unpack the major Massachusetts Energy Affordability Bill and explored how it may impact stakeholders across the energy market. Attendees gained practical insights into the policy tools being proposed in Massachusetts and how these approaches could be adapted to advance energy affordability solutions in other states.
