HEATSMART MELROSE

HeatSmart Melrose is part of the 2020 HeatSmart Mass Program supported by the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center (MassCEC) and the Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources (DOER)... HeatSmart Melrose is now focusing on clean heating and cooling because heating using fossil fuels currently accounts for 40% of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) in Melrose. Reducing this carbon pollution is necessary to meet the ambitious state and local targets for GHG reductions: Massachusetts has set a goal of 25% reduction below 1990 levels by 2020 and 80% by 2050; Melrose is working with the Metropolitan Area Planning Council (MAPC) to identify robust strategies for local net-zero plans in the next year... HeatSmart Melrose is the latest community clean energy initiative to help residents and businesses save money on their energy bills while also reducing their greenhouse gas emissions. Similar to the Solarize campaigns held in Melrose in 2012 and the 2012 and 2016 Melrose Energy Challenge campaigns..
