This report explores the perceived risks of 18 municipalities in Massachusetts throughout the negotiation of solar Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) with private-sector project developers.

In addition to interviewing municipal officials, the report includes data collected from private developers, technical consultants, and state employees. It also contains an extensive literature review and analysis of the regulatory structure for PPAs in Massachusetts.
