WINCHESTER – Governor Maura Healey today is setting strong new targets for bringing more energy into Massachusetts and lowering energy bills. The Executive Order she signed today outlines her all-of-the-above approach to energy supply and directs her administration to secure 10 new gigawatts (GW) of energy
Governor Healey's directive requires agencies to pursue a range of energy resources and ensure adequate supplies in place to meet growing demand and lower bills. The Executive Order outlines directives for state agencies related to solar, storage, wind, load management, gas, nuclear, and geothermal, leading to an estimated savings of $10 billion for Massachusetts residents and businesses. Governor Healey signed the Executive Order at Lynch Elementary School in Winchester, which is powered entirely from roof-mounted and ground-mounted solar.

Winchester and Lynch were selected to be the location for this announcement in recognition of the town’s leadership in environmental sustainability and in honor of Lynch, as Winchester’s first all-electric, net-zero facility, powered entirely by rooftop and parking canopy solar panels—key progress in Winchester’s transition to a fossil-fuel free future.
