MassCEC's Net Zero Grid initiatives are modernizing our electric system to ensure clean, reliable, and affordable energy for all, creating quality local jobs and strengthening communities across Massachusetts.
The InnovateMass program provides up to $350,000 in grant funding and technical support to applicant teams deploying new clean energy technologies or innovative combinations of existing technologies with a strong potential for commercialization.
Commonwealth Hydropower Grant Program Commonwealth Hydropower provides grants to increase energy output from Massachusetts RPS-qualified hydropower facilities through upgrades to existing plants or construction of new conduit facilities. Grant amounts are determined by incremental energy production potential as calculated through MassCEC's methodology, with funding available once annually in early spring.
Request for Proposals: Grid Services Study The Grid Services Study takes the first steps toward enabling the creation of programs or markets that incentivize Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) for providing location-specific services to the distribution grid.
The study scope included creating an initial compensation framework for DER grid services and exploring the value that flexible use of DERs can provide in Environmental Justice communities. The study also produced an implementation roadmap to inform the longer-term development of structures for using and compensating DER flexibility to support the distribution grid.
Request for Proposals: Grants for Enhancing MA Grid Resilience and Reliability The Massachusetts 40101(d) program distributes approximately $13. 5 million in federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act funding to enhance electric grid resilience and prevent outages, administered by MassCEC with preference for Environmental Justice communities.
Eligible entities include electric grid operators, electricity storage operators, generators, transmission owners, distribution providers, and fuel suppliers. Applications are accepted semiannually for projects that improve electrical infrastructure resilience against increased demand and severe weather events. The program is currently closed for applications but is expected to reopen periodically.
MassCEC envisions a modern, resilient electric system that delivers reliable, affordable, and clean energy to every community. Through strategic grant funding and forward-thinking initiatives, we champion innovative grid technologies and foster new partnerships that advance cutting-edge energy solutions, policies, and programs. Our work spans the state, laying the foundation for a sustainable energy future.
The event report for the third and final event, "Power at the Grid Edge," of the 2025 Future Grid Event Series is now live! Power at the Grid Edge brought together a diverse mix of stakeholders to discuss the “grid edge” – where the electric grid meets our homes and businesses. Participants learned about the status of the grid edge in Massachusetts today, and shared visions for the future of the grid edge in the energy transition.
We discussed: How utilities are planning for grid edge flexibility How emerging technologies will enable additional grid edge functionality How to support the evolving role of the customer equitably The electric grid is evolving rapidly to support clean air, healthy communities, and a vibrant economy.
The NZG team supports advanced technology for the grid, or “gridtech” - an important subsector of climatetech that can help the energy system meet these changing demands efficiently, affordably, and equitably. The Grid Collaboration Lab offers grants and forums that unite diverse stakeholders to shape grid policy, regulation, and technology adoption.
By engaging utilities, government, industry, advocates, and academics early, we create solutions tailored to Massachusetts—delivering smarter policies, lower costs, and stronger communities statewide.
Transitioning to a Future Grid in MA Event Series 2025 Event Series: Transitioning to the Future Grid 2024 Event Series: Transitioning to the Future Grid MassCEC is building a stronger, more resilient electric grid to protect communities from severe weather and outages by funding resilient infrastructure upgrades via the MA Grants for Enhancing Resilience and Reliability Program .
MassCEC has also funded community resilience studies, like Community Microgrids and Clean Energy and Resilience (CLEAR) . Enhanced electric resilience keeps the lights on, keeps critical facilities running, and helps safeguard communities and their residents. MassCEC is advancing the exploration of networked geothermal systems to help decarbonize how our largest buildings heat and cool.
The BosTEN project is a collaborative project evaluating the technical potential of networked geothermal in the Boston area, with a focus on how this approach could help large buildings and institutions transition toward net zero.
Kickstart Massachusetts was an initiative that provided communities with support to explore the potential of utility scale geothermal networks, laying the groundwork for development and operation of these clean systems. Additional Energy and Grid Initiatives MassCEC spearheads additional initiatives that support grid resiliency, reliability, affordability, and clean energy.
