Acadia Center Provides Testimony in Support of Massachusetts H.3694 An Act Relative to the Clean Heat Standard

On July 12 and 13, 2023 Acadia Center provided oral testimony to the Massachusetts Joint Committee on Telecommunications, Utilities, and Energy (TUE) in support of H.3694. If adopted, the bill would place critical guardrails on the Clean Heat Standard currently being developed by the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), including excluding renewable natural gas and hydrogen from being considered "clean heat measures" and enacting policy mechanisms to alleviate financial impacts on low- and moderate-income residents of the Commonwealth.
