Programs for Energy Generation Project Developers

New!  Commonwealth Hydropower Initiative 
The Commonwealth Hydropower Initiative provides grant funding for the upgrade of existing hydropower facilities to increase their energy output, and the development of new “conduit”-type facilities. Facilities must meet, or be working to meet, the requirements for qualification for the Massachusetts Renewable Portfolio Standard. 

New!: Commonwealth Wind
The Commonwealth Wind Incentive Program provides rebate, grant, and loan funding for the installation of wind projects in Massachusetts. Funding is available for residential, commercial, industrial, and public facilities that are customers of investor-owned electric distribution utilities or Municipal Light Plant Departments that pay into the Renewable Energy Trust. There are three initiatives within this program: 1) Micro Wind, 2) Community-Scale Wind, and 3) Commercial Wind (coming soon).
