SUMMARY:Mass Save: Friend of Our Future
DESCRIPTION:Mass Save: Friend or Foe? \nRegister HERE. \n  \nIs Mass Save a villain\, causing high utility bills? Or is Mass Save a critical\, if all too human\, effort to make energy more efficient\, more environmentally safe\, and—fingers crossed—more affordable? Scrolling social media and news reports this past winter\, many people blamed Mass Save for high bills. Is this fair? Can we get an accurate picture of where Mass Save actually stands in the context of energy provision and energy costs for Massachusetts households? \nMark Dyen is an energy efficiency expert who can help us see the big picture. \nMark was a co-founder and leader of the non-profit Conservation Services Group\, where he spent over 30 years on energy efficiency program development in several states and the province of Quebec. Over the last 10 years\, he has focused on residential energy efficiency\, distributed generation policy\, and carbon reduction plans. In addition to wide experience across the field\, Mark is a voice for energy equity. He has also participated in efforts to improve Mass Save. \nMark will address the following questions. \n\nWas Mass Save the main driver of high energy costs this past winter?\nWhat percentage of your energy bills goes to Mass Save?\nHow does Mass Save benefit households?\nCan Mass Save benefit households with fewer resources\, e.g. renters?\nWill Mass Save help people reduce energy costs?\nDoes it make sense for utilities to oversee Mass Save?\nWhat is the future of Mass Save?\n\nRegister HERE. \n  \nThank you for your interest in a clean\, affordable energy future. \nEnergizeActon.org is co-sponsored by the Acton Climate Coalition and the Town of Acton Sustainability Office.  \nDo you have ideas or a talent you would like to contribute? Please contact us at EnergizeActon.org@gmail.com. The Energize Acton team meets the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays on each month.
