Following a feedback period this past summer, the Department of Energy Resources has posted an updated straw proposal regarding possible changes to the Solar Massachusetts Renewable Target program, which supports the development of solar energy in Massachusetts.
The straw proposal also addresses current solar costs, revenue requirements across different program elements, and added SMART features.
The DOER hosted a two-hour webinar on July 10 to provide background information and review proposed policy changes. The webinar recording is available on the SMART Programmatic Review website, along with responses to a series of questions on the program received during a stakeholder feedback process last winter.
Visit the SMART program website for more information, or direct questions to doer.smart@mass.gov.
Municipal government is a great place to work! Cities and towns deliver a wide range of essential, quality-of-life services directly to residents: education, public safety, public works, libraries and much more. Municipalities offer a safe and stable work environment and great benefits. If you want to do work that really matters, local government may be the place for you!
