The Massachusetts House will vote on a major energy affordability bill aimed at reducing costs for consumers by $9 billion over 10 years. The bill proposes a $1 billion cut to the Mass Save energy efficiency program, with immediate cost savings expected for customers through utility rebates and reduced funding.

It also addresses nuclear energy, offshore wind, and solar power, while omitting proposed changes to greenhouse gas emission mandates. The legislation seeks to enhance accountability for utility companies and diversify the state's energy sources.
