An Act relative to the future of clean heat in the Commonwealth
This bill establishes a new Thermal Transition Trust Fund within the Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources to support the state's shift toward clean heating systems. The fund will be financed by revenues collected from existing energy-related fees and any other money specifically directed to it by the legislature. Money in the trust can only be used for expenses directly related to clean heat initiatives and the administrative costs of running the fund. The bill creates a dedicated financial mechanism to ensure resources are available for future clean energy projects without immediately spending state general funds.
