Massachusetts

The Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources (DOER) launched the first Massachusetts SREC program in January 2010. The program, now referred to as SREC-I, was created as a Massachusetts-specific solar carve-out of the New England REC market. SREC-I was originally established with a capacity limit of 400 MW, but this was reached in the spring of 2013. Pursuant to Emergency Regulations and revisions to the RPS Class I Regulation, the DOER continued to qualify projects under SREC-I through the first half of 2014, after the initial 400 MW limit was reached. On April 25, 2014, the DOER launched its SREC-II program to carry Massachusetts to its goal of installing 1,600 MW of solar capacity by 2020. The SREC-II program came to a close in November 2018 as the program surpassed its original goal of 1,600 MW prior to 2020.

In November 2018, the Solar Massachusetts Renewable Target Program was launched. More information on this incentive program can be found here.
