The Future of Natural Gas in Massachusetts – We’d Like to Hear From You

Massachusetts is exploring the future of natural gas used in homes and businesses and by large commercial and industrial customers. We’d like your thoughts.

Whether you live in Massachusetts or run a business here, the future of natural gas impacts us all. That’s why we would like your input on a plan to ensure a safe, reliable, and equitable transition to the future of energy in our state. 

The Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities (DPU) directed the Massachusetts gas companies to explore pathways for a clean energy future – for you and our future generations.  This includes the critical goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2050.

Our part in achieving “net zero” includes removing the same amount of greenhouse gases we produce or avoiding them altogether through new technology, to reduce emissions that contribute to climate change. These new technologies could impact home appliances like heating systems, boilers, gas stoves, and water heaters and a variety of commercial and industrial equipment that use natural gas.  

That’s a big job, one that needs the public’s support to succeed.  

There are many ways to get involved, share your ideas, or get more information.
