Solar & Battery Regulation & Incentive Programs
The Massachusetts Municipal Wholesale Electric Company (MMWEC) provides the Home Energy Loss Prevention Services (HELPS) Program to eighteen municipal utilities in Massachusetts.
HELPS offers a home energy audit, appliance and lighting rebates, air conditioner and heat pump rebates, and other incentives for the implementation of measures recommended in an audit. Participating utilities customize the suite of rebates provided to customers in order to help those customers implement measures recommended in the energy audit. In addition, HELPS offers utilities the opportunity to offer rebates for installing solar photovoltaic systems.
The following municipalities offer HELPS rebates: Ashburnham, Boylston, Chicopee, Groton, Holyoke, Hull, Ipswich, Marblehead, Paxton, Princeton, Russell, Shrewsbury, South Hadley, Sterling, Templeton, Wakefield, West Boylston, and Westfield. Please check the MuniHELPS list of rebate programs to verify programs and to download each utility's rebate application.
