What is the MA Clean Heat Standard?
If you live in PayLessForOil.com’s Massachusetts service area, you should be aware of the MA Clean Heat Standard. This is a climate policy from the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) to meet the emissions limit for residential, commercial, and industrial heating. It is not a bill, meaning it does not need to pass through the legislative process.
Unless Massachusetts residents voice their opposition, MassDEP will implement the policy in the near future. Contact your state rep to tell them that a decision of this magnitude should not be decided by MassDEP alone.
We want you to be informed about what your MA government is going to do to your energy choice and your energy bills. Learn how you can get in touch with state representatives to voice your concerns about the MA Clean Heat Standard’s increased taxes and removal of energy choices.

Downsides to the MA Clean Heat Standard

As the policy aims to encourage widespread electrification, availability of and support for heating fuel will decrease steadily as it aims to make you pay more to heat your home the way you want to. It will “tax” your fuel and electricity bills, propane, natural gas, and electricity bills, but they are not calling it a tax. In response, we are calling on all MA residents to click here to contact their government officials if you want to continue to have energy choice and lower energy bills, no matter what energy you are using.
