<div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px;">Award-winning "MassSave” efficiency programs, administered by electric and gas utilities as well as Cape Light Compact, are critical to achieving the state’s 2030 and 2050 climate goals. These programs, funded
primarily by electricity and gas consumers, are rapidly evolving and expanding to accelerate decarbonization of buildings and other energy end uses while ensuring that all customers can take advantage of energy-saving opportunities. </div>
