Massachusetts families and businesses are already feeling the pressure of high electricity and heating costs, and energy affordability deserves to be a major issue in the governor’s race.

The Massachusetts Republican Party is raising concerns about continued energy rate increases under Governor Maura Healey and arguing that the Commonwealth needs a different approach to energy policy.

For working families, seniors, homeowners, renters, and small businesses, this isn’t just about politics. Every increase in electricity, natural gas, or heating costs affects the household budget and the overall cost of living in Massachusetts.

Massachusetts needs an energy strategy that puts affordability, reliability, and accountability first. Residents deserve to know what policies are driving their bills higher and what candidates for governor would do differently.

Massachusetts Needs an Energy Policy Based on Reliability, Not Ideology

Our state needs enormous amounts of electricity every day to power homes, hospitals, schools, businesses, transportation, and an increasingly electrified economy. When the wind is not blowing and the sun is not shining, Massachusetts still needs dependable power.

That is why natural gas must remain part of a balanced energy strategy.

Massachusetts should pursue cleaner energy without sacrificing reliability or affordability. Families are already struggling with high utility bills, and businesses cannot remain competitive if energy costs continue to rise. An energy policy that depends too heavily on one source, renewable or otherwise, creates unnecessary economic and reliability risks.

The sensible approach is an “all-of-the-above” strategy: continue developing renewable energy, strengthen the electric grid, encourage energy efficiency, explore nuclear and other emerging technologies, and maintain adequate natural-gas infrastructure to provide dependable power when renewable sources cannot meet demand.

Environmental progress and energy security do not have to be enemies.

Massachusetts can reduce emissions while recognizing a basic reality: people need electricity that is available when they flip the switch, and they need to be able to afford the bill.

Our energy future should be cleaner, but it must also be reliable, practical, and affordable.

Massachusetts has a housing affordability crisis, and this chart helps explain why.

According to U.S. Census Bureau building permit data, Massachusetts permitted fewer new homes in 2025 than in any year since 2012. At a time when families are struggling with high rents, high home prices, and limited inventory, we should be asking a very basic question: Why are we making it so difficult to build more housing?

Housing follows the same basic principle as almost everything else: when demand is high and supply remains limited, prices rise. When permitting takes too long, regulations become overly complicated, construction costs increase, and communities put up barriers to responsible development, fewer homes get built.

The consequences are happening all around us. Young adults who grew up in Massachusetts can’t afford to stay here. Working families are being priced out of the communities they love. Seniors who want to downsize have limited options. Employers struggle to find workers who can afford to live anywhere near their jobs.

We don’t have to choose between protecting the character of our communities and building more housing. We can do both. Massachusetts needs smarter zoning, faster and more predictable permitting, fewer unnecessary regulatory barriers, incentives for responsible development, and more starter homes, apartments, townhouses, and housing options that working and middle-class families can actually afford.

We cannot regulate our way to affordability while simultaneously restricting the supply of homes.

If Massachusetts wants housing to become more affordable, Massachusetts needs to make it easier, not harder, to build housing.
