This week, Massachusetts supercharged the future of American energy innovation by signing its landmark Clean Energy and Economic Development bills into law!⚡ Together, these historic pieces of legislation will help accelerate the development of critical clean energy infrastructure - including long-duration and multi-day energy storage - across the State by: 🟢 Establishing long-duration and multi-day energy storage mandates 🟢 Enacting clean energy permitting reforms  🟢 Creating an equitable infrastructure siting process 🟢 Investing $400 million in clean tech initiatives …and more! Leadership in Massachusetts and California have now taken bold steps to propel multi-day energy storage forward in their states. We’re extremely proud to employ hundreds of team members at facilities in both states, which are working to create a more resilient and secure electric grid!  Learn more about the Commonwealth of Massachusetts’s Clean Energy bill here: https://lnkd.in/ecm_QVkt And the Economic Development bill here: https://lnkd.in/euVfGb7J. 📸 Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey announcing the Economic Development bill at Form Energy’s office in Somerville, Massachusetts earlier this year. #energystorage #longdurationenergystorage #multidayenergystorage #massachusetts #somerville #cleanenergy
