WALTHAM, Mass. – For the third year in a row, Boston has been ranked the most energy efficient city in America by The American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE). In a report released recently, the organization credited the city’s utilities for offering innovative energy efficiency programs, citing them as a key factor in reducing energy waste.

The ACEEE specifically applauded National Grid for its multifaceted approach to engaging Boston’s diverse neighborhoods, noting that the company offers energy efficiency programs designed for every budget, residential and business need.
