This blog covers strategies outlined in Massachusetts’ final Clean Energy and Climate Plan (CECP) to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the electric power sector. For the rest of this decade, we will need to build on and accelerate that progress to meet the GHG reductions required by the Climate Roadmap bill that passed in 2021.

Recently, we posted a blog on one policy, the Clean Heat Standard, to decarbonize the building sector. With this blog, we will explore a complimentary policy – Building Performance Standards (BPS). Consider it one tool in the tool chest and understand that it’s usually not possible to make anything with just one tool.
