This report compares the costs and benefits of one utility-scale, front-of-the-meter (FTM) battery system versus five commercial-scale, behind-the-meter (BTM) batteries of the same aggregate cost in Massachusetts. The report, commissioned by Clean Energy Group for the Cape and Vineyard Electric Cooperative (CVEC), provides useful information to help CVEC decide between two possible ownership models for…
In July 2025, Congress acted to accelerate the phase-out of the Investment Tax Credit (ITC), bonus credits and Direct Pay provision. Community-serving solar, wind, and energy storage projects are typically eligible for a 30% baseline credit, available to tax-exempt entites through Direct Pay. This fact sheet provides a timeline for the ITC eligibility of both…
This Direct Pay Fact Sheet details which types of tax-exempt entities are eligible to receive direct pay, outlines the process to receive direct pay, and introduces additional resources.
This fact sheet evaluates the viability of hydrogen as a long duration energy storage (LDES) technology. It examines the costs, efficiency, infrastructure considerations, and potential harms of hydrogen power plants.
This fact sheet covers the inefficiencies of hydrogen liquefaction, on top of the existing inefficiencies of hydrogen production. It details the high costs, high energy consumption, losses due to evaporation, safety concerns, storage and transportation issues, and global warming impacts of hydrogen liquefaction.
This CEG report contains new analysis evaluating the feasibility of hydrogen power plants as long-duration energy storage resources, based on cost competitiveness as well as equity and environmental impacts.
CEG submitted comments to the Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources (DOER) in response to DOER’s request for stakeholder feedback regarding the Advancing Massachusetts Power (AMP) straw proposal.
Hydrogen is a colorless gas that can be produced through a wide range of methods using a variety of raw materials or “feedstocks,” such as coal, natural gas, and water. Different production processes for hydrogen gas result in distinct byproducts like carbon dioxide, solid carbon, and oxygen. These differing processes are often assigned a color,…
This annual impact report highlights Clean Energy Group’s key initiatives and achievements in 2024. It also recognizes the invaluable contributions of our partners—including community-based organizations, state agencies, and national laboratories—whose collaboration strengthens our mission.
