MassCEC seeks to gauge interest and get input into potential neighborhood electrification demonstration projects.
For purposes of this Request for Information, "neighborhood electrification" is the strategic electrification of the building stock and decommissioning of the natural gas system in defined geographic areas —such as street segments, neighborhoods, or zones — that leverage opportunities where electrification could be more cost-effective than reinvestment in the gas system (e.g., pipeline repair). This RFI does not commit MassCEC to offer any program associated with neighborhood electrification, award any funds, pay any costs incurred in preparing a response, or procure or contract for services or supplies.
MassCEC welcomes responses from all stakeholders. In particular, we are hoping to gather perspectives from utilities, municipalities, large landowners (e.g., universities or affordable housing owners), technical experts, legal/regulatory experts, community-based organizations, and advocacy organizations. Thank you for your time and insights!
