Commission on Energy Infrastructure Siting and Permitting: Public Comments
Massachusetts has passed several laws requiring the Commonwealth to decrease emissions of greenhouse gases in the coming decades to limit the worst effects of climate change, including reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 50% relative to 1990 levels by 2030 and reaching net zero emissions by 2050. As required by those laws, the Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs has published comprehensive Clean Energy and Climate Plans outlining necessary actions and strategies to achieve the Commonwealth’s emissions reduction requirements. To meet the emissions limits outlined in those plans and required by law, Massachusetts will need to build a significant amount of new energy infrastructure, including thousands of megawatts of new solar and wind generation, storage capacity, and the transmission and distribution infrastructure necessary to interconnect these resources and deliver electricity to customers.
