As states in the Northeast push forward ambitious climate and clean energy policies, we advance corporate and investor advocacy across the region to accelerate the transition to a more resilient and equitable clean energy economy.
States in the Northeast have a long history of climate leadership — from strengthening renewable energy standards to reducing power sector emissions, and from advancing clean vehicle policies to pionerring the nation’s offshore wind industry. Companies and investors in the region want to see smart policy solutions that will help them meet their climate goals, create jobs, improve public health, and cut costs for businesses and communities alike.
The Massachusetts business community is dedicated to building a clean and equitable future, and helped secure landmark 2021 legislation that commits the state to a net zero economy by 2050 while protecting environmental justice communities. An East Coast leader in adopting bold clean vehicle policies, the Commonwealth has also seized the opportunity to grow its local clean energy industry, including through economic development policy aimed at capturing offshore wind investment and an innovative state fund designed to leverage federal money and private capital for clean housing.
In New Hampshire, investors and companies are stepping up to advocate for energy policies that support economic growth and business development. They know that clean energy and energy efficiency are critical to keeping New Hampshire businesses competitive in a region where neighboring states are doubling down on climate action, and that the state can’t afford to miss out on federal funds available from landmark legislation like the Inflation Reduction Act.
Ceres supported the establishment of a new Green Bank designed to leverage federal and private funding to help the state clean its building sector and address affordable housing challenges.
Massachusetts followed up on its landmark 2021 climate law with a second legislative package featuring policies designed to achieve the state’s bold emissions goals and bolster its leadership in the offshore wind industry.
After years of advocacy from business leaders and public health groups, Massachusetts passed landmark, bipartisan legislation to ensure the state achieves net zero emissions by 2050.
Leaders from Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and the District of Columbia signed a groundbreaking, bipartisan agreement to modernize state transportation systems, heeding the call of more than 100 investors and companies.
In New Hampshire, Ceres mobilized companies to help pass legislation that will increase uptake of solar in low-income development projects.
Ceres’ advocacy efforts helped to move policymakers to increase the Massachusetts' Renewable Portfolio Standard to reach 35% clean energy by 2030.
