The New 1,600 Megawatt Solar Program For Massachusetts Really Is SMART September 14th, 2017 by John Farrell Originally published at ilsr.org. With nearly 1500 megawatts, Massachusetts has the seventh-greatest solar energy capacity in the country, enough to power a quarter-million homes. It has the second-most solar jobs, with over 14,500. Already in a leading position, Massachusetts in January developed a new incentive program to double its solar capacity to more than 3 gigawatts. It’s a fascinating blast from the past, shifting from a common policy in the Northeast — solar renewable energy credits — to an approach that looks more like California’s 10-year-old Solar Initiative or Germany’s decades-old feed-in tariff. The new policy is dubbed “Solar Massachusetts Renewable Target (SMART) Program.” cleantechnica.com
