Acadia Center’s latest report – done in partnership with WE ACT 4 CHANGE – examines the scale of energy burden, explores policy and program solutions, including energy affordability programs, community solar, weatherization and electrification retrofits, bill assistance programs, and advanced rate design reforms.

In 2025 Acadia Center will redouble its 25 year track record advancing progress at the state, multi-state, regional and community levels to fulfill ambitious climate goals and as a first line of defense against regressive federal action.

A new report from Acadia Center and Clean Air Task Force (CATF) examines the critical role that community engagement will play in meeting New England’s 2050 decarbonization goals. The report highlights the opportunity to accelerate the region’s clean energy progress by addressing local concerns and better equipping communities to meaningfully participate in siting and approval processes.

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.
