This resource has a file attached to it.
MA DPU order approving natural gas distribution companies' procurement plans for 2010-2012.
According to the order, "The Three-Year Plans approved today are consistent with the directives of the Green
Communities Act, which enhance in four important ways the Commonwealth’s long and successful history (dating back to the 1980s) of delivering energy efficiency services. First, the Act establishes a statewide framework that each Program Administrator will work within to deliver energy efficiency services, improving the effectiveness and efficiency of these services.Second, the Act establishes an Energy Efficiency Advisory Council, comprised of eleven voting members representing the full spectrum of stakeholder perspectives, to work with the Program Administrators in developing a statewide energy efficiency plan. Third, the Act mandates comprehensive three-year energy efficiency plans, rather than the five-year plans that had previously been required. Finally and most importantly, the Act requires that Program Administrators acquire all available cost-effective energy efficiency and demand reduction resources in the Commonwealth."
