The Next Generation Solar Policy Framework for Massachusetts seeks to preserve the best elements of the Commonwealth's nation-leading solar energy programs, while modifying the way that solar energy producers are compensated to fully and fairly account for the benefits that local solar resources offer to our energy grid and to provide a sustainable rate model for maintenance and modernization of the grid. The Framework would put us on a pathway to a self-sustaining solar industry that can help our state meet its energy and environmental goals and ensure all citizens and communities have access to solar resources.
