Massachusetts has researched a milestone in the state’s solar power development goal.
Massachusetts has installed more than 841 megawatts of solar electricity, putting it more than halfway toward a goal of 1,600 megawatts by 2020. Massachusetts Energy and Environmental Affairs Sec. Matthew Beaton made the announcement Thursday at a solar event in Worcester.
Gov. Charlie Baker has said his administration is committed to a diversified energy portfolio.
" We certainly support a robust renewable ( energy) program," he said
Solar accounts for about 2 percent of the state’s electric demand.
