Massachusetts

When we hired Shaun Chapman, a Bay State native himself, we intended that he would be involved in Massachusetts at some point. We just didn’t think it would happen so quickly.

The state worked quickly to enact a comprehensive energy plan in 2008 (bill summary here - PDF), and there is some good stuff in there. But it is going to take some hard work at the regulatory level to see that things are implemented properly. Looks like Shaun will be heading home.

At the top of the list is Utility-owned solar and something called neighborhood net metering. We think these things are going to have a huge impact on the solar future of Massachusetts.

Vote Solar lead for Massachusetts is Shaun Chapman.

 

Connecticut
The state currently has about 2 MW of installed solar capacity- enough to power about 800 homes. We want to take that to 280MW.  We have a plan to improve solar incentives, administration and design in the state.  Expect to see a coordinated solar push in the 2009 legislative session.  

Vote Solar lead for Connecticut is Claudia Eyzaguirre.
