National Grid : Supports Delivery of COVID-19 Vaccine by Increasing Incentives for Cold Storage Freezers

Waltham - As COVID-19 vaccines continue to be rolled out on a massive scale, National Grid is supporting Massachusetts and Rhode Island commercial customers that need to expand their cold storage capacity.

Through its sponsorship of Mass Save® (in Massachusetts) and for National Grid customers in Rhode Island, the company is now offering incentives of up to $1,500 for ENERGY STAR® certified cold storage products through June 30, 2021, helping customers to purchase energy-efficient models that reduce carbon emissions, while also saving on operating costs.

'At this moment there is currently no endeavor of greater importance than the quick and efficient distribution of the COVID-19 vaccines,' said Tara Kapila, Vice President, Customer Marketing & Product Growth, National Grid. 'We're very proud to support our commercial customers who are part of this effort by making it easier and more affordable for them to obtain or expand their energy-efficient cold storage.'

Massachusetts and Rhode Island customers simply need to find a participating distributor, choose qualifying equipment, and confirm their equipment will be installed at a non-residential facility that is serviced by one of the sponsors of Mass Save or National Grid in Rhode Island.

All purchases may be subject to post-installation verifications. For more information on this offer, please contact the Initiative Implementer at 617-440-5466 or [e-mail].
