This table lists the proposed budgets for Mass Save for all three-year planning cycles. Note that approved budgets differ from actual spending, which may be higher or lower than planned; however, any carry-overs are integrated into the subsequent plan, and consequently, the approved budgets do reveal an overall accurate picture over time. Also note that on February 28, 2025, DPU cut the listed 2025–2027 amounts by around 25% for gas and 15% for electricity plans (see the table note below—starting with Borkhetaria, B.—for more information). Further adjustments may occur (however, they would not reflected in the table below).
