Secretary of Energy and Environmental Affairs Ian Bowles recently announced a Massachusetts Farm Energy Program that will provide Bay State farmers with energy audits and offer incentives for on-farm conservation and renewable energy projects across the Commonwealth.
Last week, Ontario's Energy Minister directed the Ontario Power Authority (OPA) to immediately begin the process of contracting 2,000 megawatts (MW) of renewable energy projects, with 500 MW of projects in the consultation phase by the end of 2007.
