A Success Story : The Value of the Massachusetts Technical Standards Review Group

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts has played a significant role in deploying renewable energy in the United States. In 2013, former Governor Deval Patrick announced an ambitious state goal of 1.6 GW of solar generation to be installed by 2020. This announcement was made after the state achieving its goal of 250 MW of solar energy four years early. The current governor, Charlie Baker, and his administration have also been very ambitious to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions.
