Electrificación equitativa II: Resumen ejecutivo
A medida que Massachusetts avanza en la electrificación del sector del transporte y de los edificios, una estrategia clave para alcanzar los objetivos de descarbonización del estado, se prevé que la demanda pico de electricidad aumentará sustancialmente. Con el incremento de la demanda de electricidad, es probable que también aumente el costo de esta, poniendo…
Massachusetts has some of the best solar and energy storage programs in the country, but these programs lack meaningful equity provisions, and clean energy adoption rates in environmental justice communities are low. Solar and storage can provide many benefits that would be especially valuable to environmental justice communities, such as lowering energy costs, reducing local…
Electrification with Equity, Part 1: The Opportunity for Behind-the-Meter Solar and Storage in Massachusetts
To meet its emissions reduction targets and decarbonization goals, Massachusetts – like many states – is working towards the electrification of its building and transportation sectors. While this will help reduce air pollution, it will also increase the region’s electric demand, which could lead to a new round of investment in fossil fuel generation. This…
Location, Location, Location: An Economic Comparison of Large-Scale Batteries Installed in Front of vs. Behind the Meter in Massachusetts
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…
Comments on the Repeal of Greenhouse Gas Emissions Standards for Fossil Fuel-Fired Electric Generating Units
Clean Energy Group (CEG) submitted these comments to U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) administrator Lee Zeldin in regards to Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2025-0124.
Evaluating Hydrogen for Long Duration Energy Storage: Costs, Risks, and Equity Considerations
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.
A Massachusetts pilot program provides a replicable and scalable model for bringing renewable energy, battery storage, and electrification to low-income households. The Cape and Vineyard Electrification Offering (CVEO) is run by the Cape Light Compact, an energy services provider serving 210,000 customers in 21 towns on Cape Cod and Martha’s Vineyard. The CVEO pilot is…
Energy Storage Program Design for Peak Demand Reduction
This issue brief, released by CEG and CESA, outlines best practices and lessons learned for state policymakers and regulators engaged in developing energy storage peak demand reduction programs. The brief explores key elements of program design, such as incentive mechanisms and dispatch methods, as well as considerations for incentivizing load reduction versus power export, and peak demand reduction versus emission reduction.
Comments to New Jersey BPU Regarding VPP and Grid-Sourced Energy Storage Program Development
Clean Energy Group submitted comments to the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities in response to a Request for Information (RFI) regarding the development of the state’s Virtual Power Plant (VPP) program and Phase 2 of the Grid-Sourced Energy Storage Program (GSESP).
