Free energy advising for shoreside businesses (Massachusetts only)
Do you have a land-based business in the Massachusetts seafood industry?
Would you like to cut your energy costs and achieve a lower carbon footprint?
Massachusetts-based seafood dealers, processors, boatyards, engine repair shops, fishing gear manufacturers, seafood markets, and even nonprofits that support the fishing industry can now take advantage of free, one-on-one energy advising services provided by Fishery Friendly Climate Action and the Green Energy Consumers Alliance through the Energy Efficient Fisheries project.
The project comes at a time when both energy costs and awareness of climate change are on the rise. By pairing businesses with expert energy advisors at no cost to them, the project will connect essential dots between businesses interested in making energy-saving improvements and a plethora of state and federal incentives that are available to support them.
For example, seafood processors and cold storage facilities often have hefty electric bills that represent a sizable portion of total operating costs. Many also have abundant rooftop space that might be ideally suited for solar panels. However, they don’t necessarily have the time to obtain quotes, understand tax incentives, and compare their options. Through the new program, businesses can access impartial expertise that will help them unlock opportunities like this and start saving on utility bills immediately.
In addition to on-site solar, the project will help businesses explore opportunities related to community solar (in which businesses or homes buy a percentage of the power from a single off-site solar farm), building energy audits, efficient buildings and heating/cooling systems (such as air-source and geothermal heat pumps), efficient refrigeration and machinery, and electric delivery trucks, forklifts, and vehicle chargers.
