Holistic, smart and just siting for transforming our grid! Siting Improvement with Environmental Justice!
Write your legislators about our Siting Improvement bill- policy is being made by the end of July!
Our energy facility siting system is broken. Utility companies like Eversource and National Grid exploit our minimal siting system to maximize their profits at the expense of communities and ratepayers.
We need a clean energy transition, and it's the utilities holding us up. When communities and households want to transition to solar, batteries and energy efficiency, it's the utility companies like Eversource and National Grid that drag their feet.
That’s why we’re proposing the Siting Improvement Bill- to green light good projects and nip bad projects in the bud.Our bill updates the Siting Board to incorporate public health and climate into approval criteria. Our bill also requires upfront community engagement and analysis, prohibition of more pollution in already overburdened communities, stopping bad projects early before they waste time and resources.
Right now, only part of our bill are moving forward, we need to push for more!
