Tell legislators to prioritize clean and affordable energy!

Please fight for no cuts to mass save, strong data center regulations, and utility accountability in the final energy bill.

As the legislative session comes to a close, and the energy affordability bill is making its way to conference committee, I’m writing to you as your constituent to urge you to advocate for the following provisions in the final bill and save us money through utility accountability, not cutting energy efficiency programs. I understand that you may not be a member of the conference committee, but I urge you to speak to your colleagues on the committee and to leadership about these important issues. - No cuts to Mass Save. For every dollar spent on Mass Save, our state saves around 3 dollars, and without the program energy demand would be 28% higher. In the past couple of years, Mass Save has made important strides in reaching low income and moderate income households, more equitably distributing the benefits of its funding, and increasing access for renters. We want to see this continue. - Keep ACP funding for clean energy and decarbonization programs. Alternative compliance payments (ACPs) fund crucial programs that help decarbonize affordable housing, promote clean energy and energy storage deployment and reward municipalities for their climate action. This funding needs to continue going to these programs. - Strong data center regulations to protect Massachusetts residents. As data center proposals are popping up around Massachusetts, we need laws that provide widespread protections from the energy, noise, water, and energy bill impacts the data centers bring. These regulations need to apply to all data center developments, not just those looking to apply for the tax incentive. - Phase out the GSEP program. GSEP accounts for 8-11% of our gas bills (growing every year) and has not led to clear safety benefits, hazardous leak reduction, or reduced GHG emissions. Utilities have spent and recovered $900 million in just 2025 under GSEP. Please advocate for keeping Section 74 of the Senate version which phases GSEP out by 2030. - Prohibit utilities from using ratepayer money for lobbying and advertising expenses. - Maintain the public’s right to vote on new nuclear facilities. I urge you to support a final bill that does not contain any repeal or modification of Chapter 503 of the Acts of 1982. These are some of the policies that will deliver on reducing energy bills and pave the way for a clean, affordable, and equitable grid for all of the Commonwealth. Thank you.
