If you have an energy efficiency home project in mind, a Mass Save® HEAT Loan might be able to help you get started on it now. HEAT Loans provide 0% interest financing up to $25,000 for select energy efficiency home upgrades. Make sure to check if you qualify to take advantage of these savings opportunities. Eligible incomes for these programs range from $40,950 to $105,001 depending on the number of members in your household and the program. The first step is to have a no-cost Home Energy Assessment to see if your project qualifies. The sooner you take on your home efficiency projects, the sooner you start saving.

The Compact is partnering with Cape and Vineyard Towns and Chambers of Commerce, to offer local businesses no-cost, on-the-spot energy assessments! These assessments can also provide local businesses with immediate energy efficiency improvements and help them develop energy action plans.

We’re excited to be working on a program that will offer e-bike vouchers to income-eligible residents on the Cape and Vineyard. The Compact has received an Equitable Clean Transportation Grant to help fund the program. E-Bikes are a great way to get out and get to work while reducing carbon emissions. The Compact will contract with local bike shops to carry e-bikes and to support e-bike vouchers.
