The ConnectedSolutions program is a state-wide initiative in Massachusetts that aims to promote energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions.

Through this program, residential and commercial customers are incentivized to participate in demand response events, where they temporarily reduce their electricity usage during peak hours. This helps to alleviate strain on the electrical grid and reduces the need for costly power plants.

Customers who enroll in the program receive smart thermostats or other connected devices that allow them to remotely control their energy usage. This not only helps to improve the overall efficiency of the electrical grid, but also empowers customers to actively participate in creating a more sustainable future.

Additionally, participating customers can earn rewards for their energy-saving efforts. For each smart thermostat connected to a central air conditioner they can receive $20 each year, along with $50 for enrolling in the program. And if they participate with a battery storage system, they can receive up to $1,375 year of participation through the ConnectedSolutions program.

The ConnectedSolutions program is a win-win for both the environment and consumers. By promoting energy efficiency and reducing carbon emissions, it helps to combat climate change while also providing tangible benefits to customers. The program is just one part of Massachusetts’ commitment to transitioning towards a cleaner, more sustainable energy future.
