Businesses depend on different amounts of electricity but they are all subject to rates that are set by a combination of market dynamics and public policy choices. The rates for electricity in Massachusetts are among the highest in the nation, which has a significant impact on businesses and residents.
As part of our approach to taking positions on energy issues, we conducted extensive research on energy costs and supply as well as the solutions being offered in Massachusetts, which we brought together in a policy brief titled, The Current Balance: The Role of Cost, Reliability, and Environmental Impact in the Massachusetts Electricity Market.
Based on our analysis of the data, the Chamber supports proposals that encourage the procurement of hydroelectricity in the Commonwealth. However, we have two reservations with specific components of legislation that is currently under consideration.
To make Massachusetts more competitive, we must create and implement updated energy policies that strike the right balance between cost, reliability, and environmental impact. Achieving a balance will require that we look at how we integrate natural gas, solar, hydropower, and other sources, to create a more cost-effective, reliable, and environmentally sound energy future for Massachusetts.
