Renewable Energy World: Governor Baker of Massachusetts recently signed a comprehensive energy bill that will make the Bay State the third in the country to adopt energy storage procurement goals — a momentous day for the advancement of energy storage on the East Coast.
Massachusetts has long been a driving force in cleantech and grid modernization, and with the passage of H.4568 the state will continue its trajectory as a leading supporter of innovative energy technology. This legislation empowers the Department of Energy Resources (DOER), led by the dynamic and tactful Commissioner Judith Judson, “to set appropriate targets for electric companies to procure viable and cost-effective energy storage systems to be achieved by January 1, 2020.” This is a strong signal to businesses and investors that Massachusetts is well-positioned to serve as a hub for the global energy storage industry and provides a greater degree of market and regulatory certainty in this growing industry.
