Massachusetts Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs’ Post

Climate action is for all of us, and every step, big or small, can make a difference. That’s why today, we’re launching our statewide climate action campaign. Visit Mass.gov/ClimateAction to learn what you can do to tackle climate change and become a part of the solution. 

The Healey-Driscoll Administration has secured $53.5 million to help Massachusetts tackle water contaminants like PFAS and lead! This vital funding from the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will protect public health and provide clean drinking water to all communities.

A huge congratulations to the Maine Governor's Energy Office on the $425 million award under the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)’s Transmission Facilitation Program!     New transmission to unlock the abundant clean energy resources we have in New England is critical to transitioning to a future grid, achieving energy independence, and growing good-paying jobs in a 21st-century industry. We’re grateful to have Maine as a partner in the clean energy transition.    The flexible procurement authority that the Healey-Driscoll Administration continues to seek through the Governor’s supplemental budget would give Massachusetts the ability to capitalize on opportunities like these to partner with other states to procure clean energy resources and related transmission to help reduce emissions, improve reliability, and lower consumer costs. https://lnkd.in/eD3kft-S
