Solar Policy Stakeholder Meeting – June 7
DOER will hold a Stakeholder Meeting from 10:00am to noon on June 7, 2013 in the Gardner Auditorium in the State House in Boston. At the public meeting, DOER will present its proposed policy for the post-400 MW solar program. The policy will support Governor Patrick’s recent announcement of a new solar goal for the Commonwealth of 1600 MW installed by 2020.
