Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey signed Executive Order 654 on March 16, 2026, directing the Commonwealth to add 10 gigawatts of new energy resources and 5 gigawatts of storage by 2035. The order was triggered directly by the Strait of Hormuz disruption and the Iran war — which drove Massachusetts gas prices up more than 20% in a single month, pushed home heating oil above $5 per gallon, and is costing Massachusetts drivers $2.4 million per day. Governor Healey stated the strategic logic plainly: 'I know one thing the Iranians can't block — that's solar and wind in Massachusetts, that's battery storage in Massachusetts, that's geothermal and hydro in Massachusetts.' She named hydro.
Those two words — 'and hydro' — carry significant weight in the context of what Co-Creator Group for Sustainability PBC has built.
More Natural Energy is a closed-loop hydroelectric generation platform. It produces 34 megawatts per 10-acre footprint, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, regardless of weather, season, or grid conditions. Zero fuel cost. Zero water draw from natural systems. Zero emissions. Behind-the-meter capable without a utility interconnection queue or multi-year permitting process. The Governor described it. CCG built it.
"ISO New England projects electricity consumption will rise nearly 15% by 2035 and 50% by 2045. The state has ordered 15 GW of new resources. More Natural Energy fills the firm dispatchable gap that solar, wind, and storage cannot close alone."
What the Executive Order Orders — and the Gap It Still Leaves
Executive Order 654 is ambitious, urgent, and directionally correct. It deploys every tool the Commonwealth has available: solar, storage, virtual power plants, efficiency, demand response, wind, nuclear, geothermal, and hydro. The Acadia Center called it 'the fastest and most cost-effective' approach available at the state level. Every element is right.
One critical gap remains: firm, dispatchable, weather-independent clean generation that can power Massachusetts homes, businesses, and data centers at peak demand in a January polar vortex — or any night of the year when solar output is zero and the storage is depleted. Battery storage is essential. It does not generate new power. When the storage is empty, the dispatchable generation requirement remains.
That is the specification More Natural Energy was engineered to meet. Continuously. Behind the meter. Without fuel cost. Without Hormuz exposure. Without a decade-long permitting process.
The Seven-Signal Convergence
The Massachusetts executive order is one of seven independent market signals that resolve to the same specification. The grid interconnection crisis prevents new large-scale renewable additions from coming online quickly. The ratepayer protection movement is pushing utilities toward cost-effective alternatives to large capital programs. Goldman Sachs has traced the oil shock transmission chain from Hormuz to household. The Governor has endorsed hydro by name. The utility industry's own diagnostic work points to the dispatchable clean baseload gap. Nuclear SMR timelines extend well past 2035. Data center demand is accelerating faster than grid infrastructure can respond.
All seven signals point at the same solution. More Natural Energy delivers against all seven simultaneously.
"The Governor ordered what CCG has already built. The question for sovereign wealth funds and institutional capital is whether they want to be the capital that makes it real — before 2035, before the next Hormuz event, and before the communities waiting for relief run out of time."
Co-Creator Group for Sustainability PBC deploys where need is greatest and where access to industrial feedstocks allows the model to scale. Impact and replicability are the criteria. Massachusetts named hydro. CCG answers the call.
