Massachusetts Legislature must expand community solar to more low-income households

“Community solar has emerged over the past decade as a leading way to help low-income residents manage their rising utility bills. It has been a valuable economic lifeline for Massachusetts residents, particularly last winter when bills dramatically spiked due to soaring natural gas prices. State lawmakers should be applauded for favorably reporting H.3216 out of the Joint Committee on Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy. This legislation will substantially expand community solar in the commonwealth and further reduce barriers to low-income participation.”
