Renewable Energy Generation

The Renewable Energy Generation division of MassCEC is responsible for supporting renewable energy projects throughout the Commonwealth. Working in partnership with the state’s Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs, MassCEC is maximizing the environmental and economic benefits of renewable energy for the citizens, businesses, and communities of the Commonwealth. MassCEC has supported more than 2,000 projects in more than 275 communities with funding from the MassCEC’s Renewable Energy Trust fund, which was created through the Electric Utility Restructuring Act of 1997, and is funded by an electric utility surcharge.

MassCEC has awarded funds to hundreds of forward-thinking businesses, towns, and organizations for feasibility and/or design and construction of solar panels, wind turbines,

biomass systems, hydroelectric systems, and other clean energy systems. Our innovative

grant programs save millions of dollars in electricity costs by making the installation of clean, renewable technologies economically viable for our partners.
