Energy solutions leaders from all over New England gathered at the eighth annual New England Energy Efficiency Conference and Expo (NEEECE)  at the Sheraton Hotel in Boston on Wednesday, June 15 to discuss energy usage in New England. In particular, conference sessions focused on Massachusetts’ success in implementing strategies that are better for the environment as well as what’s next for energy efficiency in this state and beyond. Milldam attended the conference in support of our client and platinum sponsor of the event, Opterra Energy Services’ C&I Division, leading provider of energy efficiency services nationwide.
