Governor Maura Healey is actively addressing the alarming rise in energy costs affecting families and businesses in Massachusetts. During a recent forum, she announced new legislation and orders targeting cost reduction, emphasizing the unacceptability of significant price hikes. Despite utility companies' proposals for temporary discounts and cost spreading, Healey insists further action is needed. Her administration's upcoming energy affordability and independence bill aims to foster local clean energy generation and safeguard against future price surges. Healey’s approach reflects a broader intention to ensure that Massachusetts relies more on its energy resources.
Healey stated, "Costs are impacting everyone right now, and this is not the time for big, sudden increases. It's unacceptable."
Healey emphasized that the offer to spread costs over the year "is not good enough," demanding "real action on this, and we need to see it now."
