Tip #11: Did you know you can save energy with your home appliances? Unplug electronics when not in use or use a smart power strip, clean your dryer filter regularly, or turn off the drying cycle on your dishwasher – open the door to air dry instead!
Happy Energy Efficiency Day!

☀️We had fun celebrating two new solar canopies in Harwich and New Bedford with @massdot.bsky.social and Harwich officials. Both canopies were producing energy, despite the clouds. Together, the canopies will save taxpayers more than $750,000 in energy costs over their lifetime.

Solar is vital to our electric grid’s reliability, lowers costs for all ratepayers, and reduces air pollution. On hot sunny days, solar cuts total demand and helps the grid when it’s needed most.
