PVPC has been supporting our member municipalities to do their part to reduce energy use and transition to clean, safe, sustainable energy (decarbonize) since the early 2000’s. In 2008 when the federal government launched a first round of Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) funds, PVPC facilitated a regional application for a shared energy manager, among other proposed work, but was not funded.

- Clean Energy
- Pioneer Valley
Overview
In 2024 PVPC successfully organized 23 of our member municipalities to apply for EECBG funds administered by the MA DOER for a Shared Energy Manager; building on this success, PVPC secured additional funds from our investor-owned utilities (Mass Save) to expand this work which is ongoing through 2026.
