2013-03-01T00:00:00Z

Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources (DOER) Commissioner Mark Sylvia and Massachusetts Clean Energy Center (MassCEC) CEO Alicia Barton today announced the launch of a new $475,000 incentive program to help residents install high-efficiency wood pellet boilers in their homes or small businesses.

Residents who participate in the program – which is a partnership between MassCEC and DOER – can receive rebates of up to $15,000 for installing high-efficiency wood pellet boilers.

Base rebates will begin at $7,000, with a cap of $15,000 per applicant available if other program requirements are met. The anticipated average rebate will be between $10,000 and $12,000. New wood pellet boilers typically cost more than $20,000 fully installed.

Patrick-Murray Administration Files Proposed Biomass Energy Regulations

2011-05-03T00:00:00Z

The Patrick-Murray Administration today unveiled proposed regulations that would require large, wood-burning electricity generators to meet strict greenhouse gas emissions standards for clean energy financing, while paving the way for smaller, more efficient biomass plants to earn renewable energy credits. Filed with the Legislature for review today, the proposed regulations would ensure that only the most energy efficient wood-burning electricity generating plants will benefit from state-sanctioned clean energy financing.
