Clean Energy Siting and Permitting Portals Services

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts is seeking a vendor to design, develop, and implement a unified statewide online portal for clean energy siting and permitting. This new platform aims to modernize and streamline the permitting process for energy infrastructure projects by replacing fragmented and manual procedures with a comprehensive digital solution.

The envisioned portal will manage the full spectrum of permitting activities, including pre-filing, application submissions, reviews and decision-making, public comment integration, and appeals. The system must be able to handle a high volume of applications, feature user-friendly transparency tools for the public, automate workflow steps and procedural notifications, and provide real-time tracking of deadlines. It should be scalable, secure, interoperable, and designed to enhance coordination across state and municipal agencies, ensuring equitable access and clarity for all relevant stakeholders.

Vendors are expected to provide a solution that aligns with statutory requirements while supporting new business workflows introduced by the state. The goal is to create an accessible and efficient permitting environment that advances clean energy infrastructure initiatives across Massachusetts.
