"The Mass Save program currently is administered by electric and gas utilities," Hoffer wrote in her report."It has become increasingly clear, particularly in light of the successes of sister-state entities Efficiency Maine and Efficiency Vermont, that, under the current statutory framework, the Mass Save program is failing to take the steps necessary to achieve the transformative levels of building decarbonization required.
The governor said she saw Hoffer's recommendations as a way to improve Mass Save and save money for consumers. "Any reform of Mass Save will need a transition period to ensure that existing markets for energy efficiency services are not disrupted; that said, there is an urgent need to transform Mass Save and that work should occur on a parallel track with more incremental measures to be implemented in the three-year planning cycle," the report said.
The Massachusetts Clean Energy Center estimates the state's clean energy workforce will need to grow by an additional 29,700 full-time workers to meet the state's statutorily-mandated greenhouse gas emissions reduction goals by 2030. The offshore wind industry alone is projected to grow by 724 percent in Massachusetts by 2030.
