The end of daylight savings is the start of winter heating season. Adjusting thermostats a little leads to big energy savings! Set thermostats at 68 or lower when people are home, and 7 - 10 degrees lower when no one is home for 2+ hours and overnight.

It’s never been a better time to heat with a heat pump! Residential heat pump customers can now sign up for lower electricity rates this winter. We’re thrilled to see the recommendations in our January petition come to life.

Thank you, @massgovernor.bsky.social and Secretary Tepper, for bringing together industry, labor leaders, and policy makers to talk about how to bring more solar into MA to lower bills, boost our economy and meet demand.
Yesterday I sat down with solar and labor leaders at our Solar Summit. Massachusetts should be out front—creating good jobs, delivering reliable energy, and cutting costs through solar power.

Adding more solar will lower energy bills and support Mass. businesses and workers. This is how we get things done for the Bay State!
Solar is the cheapest, fastest energy out there—and it should be powering Massachusetts. We used to lead, but states like Florida and Texas are moving faster.
So I’m cutting red tape, creating jobs, and making it easier for families and businesses to benefit from affordable solar.
