“green”– renters, position of roof, etc.• Battery Storage are for customers that can’t “shave”/modify their behavior • Electric vehicles are coming
– MA goal: 300,000 EVs by 2025 influence when charging occurs (off peak)• Summer Peaker – HVAC Thermostat control can make a difference• Private Solar – benefits of solar with some type of pay back from utility
Why have community initiative programs?
