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…
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…
This annual impact report highlights Clean Energy Group’s key initiatives and achievements in 2025. It also recognizes the invaluable contributions of our partners, whose collaboration strengthens our mission.
This case study profiles the Kenzi apartments, an affordable housing building for residents aged 55+ located in the Roxbury neighborhood of Boston. It is Massachusetts’ first all-electric building greater than four stories with a city-permitted solar+storage system, negating the need for a diesel generator. Clean Energy Group provided a solar+storage feasibility assessment for this project, which found that a solar+storage system would be cost effective.
Massachusetts has committed to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, a goal that requires retiring the state’s fossil fuel peaker power plants and replacing them with clean, reliable alternatives. This report by the Massachusetts Clean Peak Coalition, with analysis from Synapse Energy Economics, shows that net-zero technologies can meet the state’s peak electricity demand by 2050 while maintaining reliability and containing costs.
This report details the impacts of rising energy demand from data centers in Pennsylvania and explains how the current trajectory will increase fossil fuel energy generation, raise energy costs, and worsen local air quality. The report includes recommendations for how community advocates and policymakers can push back against potentially harmful data center growth in their state.
In September 2017, Hurricane Maria knocked out all power across Puerto Rico. Vieques, an island of about 8,000 people located eight miles east of the Puerto Rican mainland, remained without electricity for 18 months, the second-longest blackout in world history. Once power was restored, service remained unreliable and expensive. The Vieques Microgrid Network is an effort led by…
Rural community health centers depend on consistent and reliable electricity to serve their patients. Power outages pose a major risk to health center patients, who might need to defer or travel farther for care, and they have the potential to be massively expensive due to interruptions in service and loss of refrigerated vaccines and medications.…
This short fact sheet introduces the concept of resilience hubs—community facilities equipped to support residents and coordinate resource distribution and services before, during, and after a power outage.
