We are pleased to announce the opening of a new center of innovation and community
engagement in the City of Worcester – The National Grid Sustainability Hub.
Our Sustainability Hub grew from a community partnership focused on developing a local green economy and delivering smart energy solutions that benefit customers. The Hub – the first if its kind in New England and widely viewed as a national model – provides a home in our community to learn more about environmental sustainability, the modernization of our electrical grid and energy saving choices that will have a long-term impact on our society.

Thank you to our Partners

National Grid’s Sustainability Hub provides hands-on education about energy efficiency
and emerging technologies for National Grid’s customers and the community at large.
The 2,220 square foot interactive space was donated by Clark University and is an
integral part of National Grid’s Smart Energy Solutions Program, the largest and
most comprehensive smart grid pilot in Massachusetts. The following businesses,
community and municipal groups and educational institutions teamed up with National
Grid and generously donated time, services and materials to make this state-of-the-art
facility a reality. We are deeply appreciative of their contributions to this unique
interactive space.

We are currently seeking additional partners to help us support community education
as we work with the City of Worcester and our customers to upgrade Worcester’s ability
to manage its energy. We look forward to working together with all our partners
to create a smarter energy future for Worcester.
