Key Considerations for Business Electrification

The best path to electrification is one that takes your particular business goals and needs into consideration. For example, a key factor that can influence your business's path to electrification is whether you operate your business out of an existing commercial building or are planning a commercial new construction project.

Regardless of your unique path to electrification, the Sponsors of Mass Save recommend:

Working with an accountant or tax professional to understand how federal and state tax credits could impact your decisions.
Working with a qualified building energy professional by starting with an energy assessment to ensure your path to an electrified business works for your unique goals and objectives.
Incorporating your electrification and decarbonization work into your brand's marketing and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) goals.
