Need a break from all the election coverage? Check out the details (in plain English) of the sweeping climate and clean energy bill lawmakers in Massachusetts have put forward It's currently stalled in the house, but lawmakers say it will pass it in 2024 https://t.co/rkNf8AZXrd

#ICYMI: I talked to a lot of people in the offshore wind world about the upcoming presidential election: -What's at stake -What each candidate might do -And how states and developers are planning to forge ahead should Trump win https://t.co/gqCm6ugOCn

There's a lot of uncertainty -- and anxiety -- in the offshore wind world about what the outcome of the upcoming presidential election could mean for an industry still trying to find its footing in the U.S. My latest for @WBUR 👇 https://t.co/gqCm6ugOCn

Instead of offering a flat 32% discount rate to low-income customers, @nationalgridMA will now offer a range of discounts (32%-71%) to help make electric bills more affordable for its lowest income customers. https://t.co/TndyOWFd0N @Mass_DPU

I've been reporting on offshore wind for 4+ years, and today I finally got to see turbines out in the Atlantic Ocean. https://t.co/aRvEkkqgo1

After 10 years, the saga of the East Boston substation has come to an end The project became a symbol of environmental justice issues in MA, and helped spark conversation about reforming the siting and permitting of energy infrastructure in the state https://t.co/YsRQZKsgJT

ICYMI: Massachusetts announced Friday that it will contract another 2,600 MW of offshore wind. That brings the state to a total of 3,400 MW in the pipeline. It's required to have 5,600 by 2027 https://t.co/5P9MUEEcgD

It's hot out, and Massachusetts utilities have called a "peak energy event" this evening This means thousands of smart thermostats and batteries will be tapped around 5pm to help lower energy demand. Here's how it works: https://t.co/rOCd6J4Qdz https://t.co/ZnM1E8xzAd

On hot days, utilities tap a sea of distributed devices in New England homes and businesses -- ie, a virtual power plant -- to reduce peak energy demand. This summer, they cut demand by 375 MW on one afternoon, which is the output of a medium-gas plant! https://t.co/rOCd6J4Qdz

This is such a powerful -- and maddening -- piece! Nice work, @AnnieWaldman

This smart -- and very interesting -- takeaways story from @emilypont and @robinsonmeyer is worth checking out! https://t.co/zw9lO6I97o

The feds just awarded New England $389 million to help the region's electric grid accommodate more wind power. The money will be used to expand two interconnection points on the coast and build the region's first multi-day battery storage project https://t.co/0mzEv76aTW
