CNW Group - Mon Aug 08, 2:05PM CDT
Today Hydro-Québec praised the actions of Governor Baker and the Massachusetts legislature for enacting clean energy legislation that recognizes the important role of hydropower in the supply mix. The new measure is historic as it authorizes the purchase of significant quantities hydropower and the associated transmission needed to deliver it to customers for the first time in the Commonwealth. With this new law, Massachusetts is better positioned to meet its 2020 GHG emissions reduction requirement under the Global Warming Solutions Act. Moreover, it establishes a foundation from which the entire New England region can collaborate to transition to a cost-effective clean energy future of scale.
