Distributed Generation Workshops

As part of an agreement filed by the DG Working Group in September 2013 utilities host DG Interconnection Workshops on a monthly basis.

Starting March 2022 DOER was no longer posting presentations at this website (the former web page was archived on January 6, 2022). As of June 12, 2024, presentation slides can now be found at the state website for Interconnection in MA.

Those interested in registering for future workshops should contact the utilities directly. The 2024 schedule can be found below.
