The University of Massachusetts Boston recently developed a 25-year plan to make the campus more sustainable. As a major step in that plan, UMass partnered with Enel X to add solar, storage, and EV charging to their Boston campus. Their efforts recently led to a Project of the Year award from Environment + Energy Leader.
In this webinar, speakers from Enel X and UMass Boston will discuss the project, their collaboration and the changing energy market landscape. They’ll explore:
- The different clean energy incentives and programs available
- How UMass navigated the decision making and financing process
- The significant financial benefits of boosting sustainability
