Massachusetts
Massachusetts Electric Incentives for Lighting
Lighting can make up to 50 percent of a hotelier’s energy bill but lighting is also one of the easiest things to change on the property with the highest benefit. LED and CFL light bulbs use 75 percent less energy, saving up to $200 for every five bulbs replaced. Turning off lights, switching to lower-wattage bulbs, using time and occupancy sensors—all can make a difference to the electricity bills.

Massachusetts Electric Incentives for Connected Solutions
Hoteliers can receive incentives for decreasing energy use at the right times. Demand response is when participating customers reduce their electricity usage to help lower the demand for electricity at critical times – during peak periods when energy use is at its highest. Through National Grid’s Connected Solutions demand response program, hoteliers can receive generous incentives by reducing electric use on request during periods of high energy demand we can reduce emissions, infrastructure costs, and utility prices. Guestrooms, kitchen equipment, heat pumps, and back of the house equipment can be reviewed.

National Grid provides incentives to save energy because they’re good for your business, good for ours and importantly, good for the planet. National Grid is committed to using less energy, and it is in the best interest for companies to invest in the best energy-efficient equipment available to them.
