Required next actionIf the required Notice of Intent was already submitted, immediately finalize the electrification scope, budget and documentation required by PON-ENE-2025-032 and submit by September 4. If no Notice of Intent was submitted, contact the DOER regional coordinator now to determine whether a late or alternative path is available rather than assuming eligibility.

Broad Eligibility

The program is designed for eligible Massachusetts regional school districts pursuing electrification and emissions-reduction projects at existing facilities. Applicants must satisfy the PON's detailed requirements, including the Notice of Intent prerequisite.

Atlas Analysis

A useful school-facility funding opportunity with an imminent deadline, but immediate actionability is limited for new applicants because DOER requires a Notice of Intent at least 30 days before submission. Atlas keeps it Active because the state still lists Block 2 as open through September 4, while clearly flagging the prerequisite so late-stage users are not misled.
