The Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs is hosting the first semi-annual “Electric Connections Improvements Forum” on Tuesday March 17, 2026 at 1:00 PM. The event will be held in person at 100 Cambridge St, Boston, on the 2nd floor in Conference Rooms B and C. The Healey-Driscoll Administration established the Electric Connections Improvements Forum to bring together utilities, developers, state agencies, and other stakeholders semi-annually to:
- Share information about the grid connection process and process improvements under development;
- Provide transparency into the state and utilities’ work related to grid connections; and,
- Discuss customer experiences with the grid connections process to identify pain points and collectively develop solutions
The Electric Connections Improvements Forum is part of an effort by the administration to work with the state’s investor-owned utilities and stakeholders to further streamline and standardize the grid connection process. Information on these initiatives and more can now be found on a new one-stop website: a new one-stop website: https://www.mass.gov/info-details/connecting-new-buildings-to-the-electric-grid.
