Your Eversource or National Grid bill has gone up 65% since 2015. AI data centers are accelerating demand on the same grid you depend on, and Massachusetts has no law requiring those facilities to pay for the grid infrastructure their energy use requires. That cost gets passed to residential customers.
Lowell just enacted the first data center moratorium in Massachusetts history. Everett moved to restrict them before a facility was even proposed. Homeowners across the state are asking what they can actually do about it.
Solar is the most direct answer. You generate your own power, your bill shrinks, and the next rate announcement from Eversource or National Grid matters a lot less.
