The energy transition isn't just a distant goal. It's happening in neighborhoods across Massachusetts right now.Join Angie Alberto Escobar, Director of Community Gas-to-Geo at the Home Energy Efficiency Team (HEET), to hear how communities are moving from fossil fuels to geothermal heating and cooling.
Angie will talk about:
- The Framingham pilot, the nation's first utility-owned networked geothermal system, now heating and cooling homes, a school, a fire station and a public housing complex
- "Fix the Worst First," a way of finding and repairing the biggest gas leaks that has become a national model
- Kickstart Massachusetts, twelve community studies on whether neighborhood-scale geothermal could work locally
- The bigger question: could gas utilities become geothermal utilities, and who pays?
Doors open at 6:30 for snacks and socializing. The talk runs 7:00-8:30 pm, including Q&A.
Free admission. RSVP is optional but helps us plan for seats and snacks:
