JGR Director Mario has recently returned from an exciting trip to Boston, where he was hugely impressed by all of the construction activity currently in progress. Massachusetts is at the forefront of a significant shift towards electrification, moving away from gas and oil. This transition opens up enormous opportunities for growth, particularly for multidisciplinary consultancies. Recently, the Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities (DPU) issued a groundbreaking order that pushes the state's gas utilities towards electrification. This move aligns with Massachusetts' ambitious climate goals, aiming for net zero emissions by 2050 and a 50% reduction in greenhouse gases by 2030. The order sets a new standard, requiring gas utilities to prioritize non-gas alternatives like efficiency, demand response, electrification, and networked geothermal systems. Networked geothermal, an innovative solution, offers a scalable, equitable pathway to decarbonize entire neighborhoods, ensuring all communities benefit from the transition to clean energy. This regulatory change not only discourages investments in new gas infrastructure but also opens the door to major infrastructure upgrades across the state. The potential for consultancies to engage in projects alongside utility providers, building owners, and end users is immense, making it an exciting time for the construction and energy sectors in Massachusetts.
