• 2026-1223: Message and order for your approval an Ordinance authorizing the City of Boston, acting through its Environment Department, to amend the Distributed Energy Resource Revenue Revolving Fund, 30396E. The current language for 30396E is limited in its use, and the changes proposed will allow for proper usage of 30396E while maintaining its original purpose. The amended language will allow the fund to properly capture revenues and expenditures, ensuring an enhanced and seamless financial process for current City energy activities. These amendments will properly capture demand response revenue and allow for the further development of the City's demand response program, increasing energy savings, and reduce the City's greenhouse gas emissions produced by emissions not addressed through the City's distributed energy resources.
