Equity

Bringing energy upgrades and cost savings to those who need them the most.  
The Sponsors of Mass Save are committed to reducing energy burden—and ensuring a clean energy future is accessible and attainable to all our residents.

On average, low-income and underserved communities pay a higher percentage of their household income on utility bills than medium- and higher-income households. For many of our families in Massachusetts, these high energy burdens are not only a strain on their finances, but on their long-term health, comfort, and well-being.
