Great article about a very exciting study—I’m already eager to see results! Do you know how they are selecting the 2,000 homes? Are there prerequisites to being eligible? Thanks!

By 2050, peak electricity demand in New England could be 2x what it is today

Now, with a $50m fed grant, a pilot project in MA will install heat pumps, smart thermostats, and batteries in 2k low-income homes to see if it can meaningful reduce that peak. Energysky 🔌💡 www.wbur.org/news/2023/11...
Pilot program will install batteries in 2,000 Mass. homes to reduce energy demand on the grid
The federal government awarded Mass Save and Generac $50 million to test whether installing batteries in homes can reduce demand on the grid as more homes are electrified
