Mayor Wu's administration is committed to a Green New Deal for Boston by reducing planet-warming pollution while creating economic opportunities for everyone, especially those from environmental justice communities who often suffer the worst impacts of climate change. In her 2025 State of the City address, Mayor Wu announced the launch of the Boston Energy Saver, a partnership with Eversource, National Grid, and non-profit partners that will help Boston residents and small businesses access Mass Save financial incentives and credits to upgrade their homes and energy systems and lower energy costs. Through the program, the City will help renters, homeowners, and business owners decide on the best investments to make in their homes and access the financial support available to pay for them, reducing their energy bills and improving building performance.
