NECA Boston Testifies on Energy Affordability and Innovation Bill at State House
On June 25th, NECA Boston testified on behalf of its members at the State House in front of the Joint Committee on Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy on Governor Healey’s bill, An Act relative to energy affordability, independence and innovation. Alongside, AFL-CIO and Environmental League of Massachusetts, NECA Boston testified in favor of the bill.
"NECA electrical contractors & our IBEW workforce are modernizing the grid, electrifying buildings, installing microgrids, deploying battery storage, heat pumps, and more, making our infrastructure more resilient, efficient, and future-ready. We can only truly address the affordability crisis we face, not just in our energy sector, but also in the broader economy if we make the investments necessary to expand the infrastructure required and do so through equitable and responsible energy policy. We applaud the Administration’s provisions in this bill to adopt an all of the above strategy to bring new energy into Massachusetts."
