Great collaboration with Rhode Island Energy, the Massachusetts Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs and MA Department of Energy Resources teams with the work that has been done over the last several months. Looking forward to advancing these projects and eventually the next offshore wind procurement effort amongst the states. Kenneth Campbell, C.E.M., LEED Green Associate Brian Schuster Greg Cornett Elizabeth Mahony Austin Dawson Marian Swain Harkavy Rebecca L Tepper Joanna Troy
Today, we announced that Rhode Island and Massachusetts selected 2,878 MW of offshore wind in the first coordinated procurement of its kind. Massachusetts selected 2,678 MW in total from three projects, and Rhode Island selected 200 MW from one project. Through this procurement, it is estimated that the offshore wind will power over 125,000 Rhode Island homes and 1.4 million Massachusetts homes.

With today’s offshore wind project selection from SouthCoast Wind, Avangrid, and Vineyard Offshore, Massachusetts is lengthening its lead in the offshore wind industry while creating thousands of good-paying, union jobs. This is a huge win for our economy and clean energy future.

Commissioner Heiple joined other environmental leaders at #ECOSFall24 in Rhode Island, where she moderated a discussion on artificial intelligence. The theme for #ECOSFall24 focused on exploring ways to bring about Environmental Sea Change, as states work to transform environmental protection through innovative programs and technology on water and air quality, PFAS, AI, and more. The Environmental Council of the States (ECOS) is the national nonprofit, nonpartisan association of state and territorial environmental agency leaders. The purpose of ECOS is to improve the capability of state environmental agencies and their leaders to protect and improve human health and the environment of the United States of America.

ICYMI: #TeamMA won a $20 million award last week from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to reduce carbon emissions from homes and #buildings, train an equitable #cleanenergy workforce, and lower costs for those who call #Massachusetts home. This investment from the Biden-Harris Administration will make it easier for Massachusetts Clean Energy Center to work closely with the buildings sector to share best practices and partner with trades programs to ensure workers have the training they need to accelerate our clean energy transformation. We’re doing this work because we know that people are healthier, safer, and more financially secure when homes and buildings are energy efficient and resilient. Winning this award was truly a team effort! Thanks to Secretary Rebecca Tepper, Commissioner Elizabeth Mahony and our colleagues at the Massachusetts Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs and Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources, Director of Federal Funds and Infrastructure Quentin Palfrey, the City of Boston, and the City of Cambridge. A special thanks to MassCEC’s High-Performance Buildings and Workforce Development teams for their contributions to the Commonwealth’s application: Peter McPhee, Jennifer Applebaum, Katherine Straus, Raija Vaisanen, Thomas Chase, Beverly Craig, and Irene Posada! Go team! Learn more: bit.ly/3XnlMBO
Amazing news for MA residents and commercial building owners! 🏙 U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced that #Massachusetts, along with the City of Boston and the City of Cambridge, will receive nearly $20 million to accelerate the implementation of building performance standards that will make the places we live and work more energy efficient and resilient. These funds will empower building trades programs in #Justice40 communities and lead to the creation of a Building Performance Exchange hub. Congratulations to MassCEC’s Workforce Development and High-Performance Buildings teams for their contributions to this win! Read DOE’s press release for more information ⬇

The clean energy transition won’t leave our local workers behind. The heroes of the clean energy transition will be union workers. With each new project, we’re adding more good-paying, union jobs, training programs, and educational opportunities to build out Massachusetts’ skilled clean energy workforce. The Salem Port Offshore Wind Terminal Project Labor Agreement will deliver: ✅ 30% workers from Essex and Middlesex Counties ✅ 20% apprentices ✅ 20% BIPOC representation ✅ 8% women in the workforce Agreements like this boost local economies and set our projects up for success. Happy Labor Day!

Great to see CAP Fellow Emma Hibbert being recognized here for her passion for environmental affairs and her work this summer with the Massachusetts Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs! 🌳 💚
Founder at CirFin | Prudential Emerging Visionary Grand Prize Winner | Award-Winning Author, Podcast Host & Researcher
On the latest episode of the Earth Day Everyday Podcast we were incredibly lucky to have Emma Hibbert with us. Emma is a fellow of the Civic Action Program and is apart of the Massachusetts Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs. 🌳 🎋 As countries worldwide set ambitious net zero climate targets, the ultimate question is what happens if we don't fulfill them? At the our current rate of consumption, we are falling far behind. Convincing people to take climate action isn't easy, but as Emma points out, we need to be okay with the fact that our contributions may be small. Our audience learned so much from this conversation -- thank you so much Emma! 🎙 Podcast Episode: https://lnkd.in/g4jUPTW9 🌎 What is Earth Day Everyday? A podcast shining a spotlight on exemplary activists, policymakers, and changemakers in the field of sustainability and climate change.
