SUMMARY:Renewable Portfolio Standard Hearing
DESCRIPTION:On Tuesday September 19th\, from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. the Joint Committee on Telecommunications\, Utilities and Energy (TUE) will hold a hearing at the Massachusetts State House on bills related to the Renewable Portfolio Standard. \nOn that day residents from all over Massachusetts will converge on Beacon Hill to fight to increase the Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS). A new report  finds that increasing the Massachusetts RPS by 3 percent per year will allow the state to fully realize the benefits of new clean energy demand and lower wholesale electricity prices. This policy would enhance the economic vitality\, competitiveness\, and growth of our state. \nMass Power Forward\, a state-wide coalition of environmental and community groups\, businesses\, faith groups\, and energy advocates\, is supporting the 3% yearly increase. \nGreen Needham has joined 21 other organizations in supporting an increase. \nMore information about the hearing\n \n\n\nRead more about the Mass Renewable Portfolio Standard\, and why increasing it is important.\n\n\n\n\n\n
