PITTSFIELD, Mass. — The Massachusetts Clean Energy Center (MassCEC) awarded Noble Carbon $350,000 to demonstrate its innovative and reverse-compatible circuit that helps residents and businesses manage electricity use and bills.

 

InnovateMass offers grants and technical support for teams deploying new clean energy technologies or innovative combinations of existing technologies with strong commercialization potential. Including this latest round of awards, InnovateMass has provided over $23 million to 115 demonstration projects since 2013, leveraging more than $27 million in additional private and public funding.

 

MassCEC announced $3.6 million in funding for 20 clean energy and climatetech companies and researchers. The grants are awarded through four of MassCEC's programs: AmplifyMass, Catalyst, Diversity in Cleantech - Early Stage (DICES), and InnovateMass. MassVentures also supports Catalyst, DICES, and InnovateMass. 

 

"Massachusetts leads the nation in climate innovation, and this funding reaffirms our commitment to the entrepreneurs and researchers driving this global industry," said Governor Maura Healey. "Even as federal support wavers, we're stepping up—investing in early-stage companies and cutting-edge research to grow our economy, create high-quality jobs, and strengthen communities across the state and beyond."
