The three selected projects are expected to produce 2,878 megawatts of electricity — or about what it takes to power 1.6 million homes.

The New England Heat Pump Accelerator aims to "permanently shift the market from fossil fuel equipment to heat pumps."

Rising interest rates, inflation, and global supply chain issues brought delays in 2023 for the offshore wind industry, but also some projects began generating energy.

At UN climate talks, the global community is looking at tripling the amount of renewables coming online. In the U.S., that's meant a push into offshore wind — but it's been met with fits and starts.

Officials, regulators and energy executives from across New England gathered to discuss where the region will get its electricity and heat for years to come.

When your utility buys its power has a lot to do with the price spikes you're seeing.
