Acadia Center has deployed its research and analysis to shine a light on the true drivers of energy cost increases in recent months across the Northeast region (and beyond). The following fact sheets serve as resources summarizing these energy cost drivers across electricity and natural gas, and they address and debunk a number of erroneous claims often repeated about what policies, programs, and investments are responsible for recent price increases.

Acadia Center’s latest report highlights the essential contributions energy efficiency programs make to stabilizing costs, benefitting ratepayers, and diversifying the energy mix in seven states in the northeast. Check it out here!

A bill before the Massachusetts House would recklessly abandon the state's proven clean energy progress by rolling back climate targets and gutting energy efficiency programs. This fossil fuel industry wish list threatens to undo the economic and environmental benefits that have lowered costs, created jobs, and established Massachusetts as a leader.

By collaborating with policymakers, industry leaders, and grassroots organizations, Acadia Center creates pathways for innovative clean energy policies that benefit entire communities — especially those that have historically been left behind. But to continue on this path, we need your help to bridge these divides.
