Massachusetts has set a goal of a 50% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and net-zero emissions by 2050.
Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey announced the formation this week of a new panel charged with guiding the state’s transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy.
The board will advise the newly established Office of Energy Transformation, which has been given the task of affordably and responsibly accelerating the state's gas-to-electric transition and readying the electric grid to meet the state’s climate and clean energy mandates. The best way to meet those goals will be the electrification of buildings and transportation powered by new clean energy sources, according to the Healey administration.
“The clean energy future will not happen if we operate in silos,” Healey said in a written statement. “The Office of Energy Transformation and this newly-created Advisory Board is an invitation to everyone impacted to come to the table, bring solutions, and make real commitments to move us forward."
