Tax Deductibility

Mass Energy is participating in Clean Energy Choice, a program of the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative (MTC), a public agency of the Commonwealth and administrator of the Renewable Energy Trust. Clean Energy Choice encourages the purchase of renewable energy certificates from renewable energy facilities that have been defined as “new” by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. New England Wind Fund allows you to make a worthy contribution, at a reduced cost, towards the development of new renewable energy.

Your contributions to New England Wind Fund are 100% tax deductible if you itemize on your federal return. Through the Clean Energy Choice program, your contributions are recognized as charitable donations on behalf of the citizens of Massachusetts to the MTC for the purchase of renewable energy certificates.

Suppliers, such as Mass Energy, who participate in this program, agree to abide by specified rigorous standards relative to information disclosure, pricing, and consumer protection. New England Wind Fund is the only option approved for all communities in Massachusetts.

Matching

In addition, MTC will match your payments with two grants, each equal to 100% of your payments:

1. One to your city or town for clean energy goods and services and
2. One to fund clean energy projects that benefit the state’s low-income residents.

To learn more about this program you can view the Clean Energy Choice website. MTC is also providing the Community Solar Challenge.

Mass Energy will gladly work with you and your community to raise matching funds. We can attend meetings, give you materials, and help plan ways to further leverage these funds. Don’t let your community miss out on matching grants! Contact Larry or call 800-287-3950.

Note: Communities served by municipal light plants or outside of Mass. are not eligible for these matching grants.
