Energy Data Management and Utility Bill Audit in Massachusetts
Utility data delivery, bill audit, and emissions reporting for Massachusetts. From messy bills to structured, validated records you can trust.
For owners, operators, and energy teams in Massachusetts, the utility bill is the single most complete source of truth about a building, and the hardest to use. Driven by healthcare, higher education, biotech and pharmaceuticals, financial services, and technology. MartinAI exists to turn that source into structured, trustworthy data. As a state in the United States, Massachusetts has its own utilities, regulator, and reporting rules, and this page covers what that means for your data.
The energy picture in Massachusetts
| Grid carbon intensity | about 377 g CO2e/kWh (2023) |
|---|---|
| Grid mix | Predominantly natural gas, with growing solar plus some hydro and biomass |
| Main electricity utilities | Eversource, National Grid, and Unitil |
| Main gas utilities | Eversource Gas, National Grid, Berkshire Gas, Liberty Utilities, and Unitil |
| Energy regulator | Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities |
| Population | About 7.0 million (2020 Census) |
At about 377 grams of CO2e per kilowatt-hour (2023), electricity here carries a middling carbon intensity. Both electricity and fuel reductions move the number, which makes accurate, commodity-by-commodity data the difference between a defensible emissions figure and a guess.
Getting your utility data in Massachusetts
Eversource and National Grid provide Green Button access to interval and monthly usage data for customers and authorized third parties (https://www.eversource.com/content/residential/account-billing/manage-account/energy-usage).
What MartinAI delivers in Massachusetts
Whether a building is served by Eversource, National Grid, and Unitil, or any other provider, MartinAI reads its utility bills across every commodity and layout, separates true consumption from delivery, demand, and tax lines, and validates each figure before it reaches a report. The result is one clean record per building that you can analyze, benchmark, and hand to an auditor.
Data delivery
Every utility bill read across electricity, gas, water, steam, and fuels, normalized to consistent units and periods.
Bill audit
Rate class, demand, tax, and meter mapping checked against the tariff and the meter to recover overcharges.
Benchmarking
Clean records that feed ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager and internal intensity comparisons across sites.
Emissions reporting
Consumption paired with the right local emission factor for defensible Scope 1 and Scope 2 numbers.
Utility bill audit in Massachusetts
An audit is where clean data pays for itself. With every bill in Massachusetts read and validated, the anomalies surface: a wrong rate class, a demand charge inflated by one bad interval, tax applied where it should not be, consumption billed to the wrong meter. Industry figures put utility billing errors at 2.5 to 10 percent of spend, so the recovery is often material.
Reporting and compliance in Massachusetts
Massachusetts launched a statewide Large Building Energy Reporting program under the 2022 Act Driving Clean Energy, with rules in effect and reporting for buildings 20,000 sq ft and larger open from March 30 to June 30. Boston runs BERDO and Cambridge runs BEUDO, both of which now mandate emissions reductions.

Frequently asked questions
Can MartinAI handle utility bills from Massachusetts?
Yes. MartinAI reads utility bills across every commodity (electricity, natural gas, water, steam, and fuels) and every layout used by utilities in Massachusetts, then validates each figure. Local formats and multi-meter accounts are exactly what it is built for.
What is the grid carbon intensity in Massachusetts?
Grid electricity in Massachusetts is about 377 grams of CO2e per kilowatt-hour (2023). MartinAI pairs your validated consumption with the right local emission factor so your Scope 2 numbers are accurate.
Do you help with energy reporting rules in Massachusetts?
Massachusetts launched a statewide Large Building Energy Reporting program under the 2022 Act Driving Clean Energy, with rules in effect and reporting for buildings 20,000 sq ft and larger open from March 30 to June 30. Boston runs BERDO and Cambridge runs BEUDO, both of which now mandate emissions reductions. MartinAI produces the clean, traceable data those reports depend on.
How is this different from reading bills by hand?
Manual entry is slow and error prone, and the errors flow straight into your cost and emissions numbers. MartinAI reads and validates automatically, flags anomalies, and keeps every figure traceable back to the source bill, so the data holds up under an audit.
