ConnectedSolutions+ Pilot Program
A new pilot offering increased incentives for a limited time in select Massachusetts neighborhoods
About The Pilot
Qualifying residents can earn rewards for helping support a reliable electric grid.
This pilot tests new ways to support local reliability through small, temporary adjustments to devices customers already own. Your participation helps lower demand, reduce the need for local generators, and supports clean, reliable energy in your community.
Events are brief and designed to maintain comfort. You'll remain in control of your device settings, and you can override or opt out of an event at any time.

- The Greater Boston pilot is available in Alewife, Dorchester, Mattapan, West Roxbury, Hyde Park and town of Milton
