The Governing Board of the Massachusetts Renewable Energy Trust has approved grants totaling more than $3.2 million for the design and construction of nine new wind, hydroelectric, biogas and fuel cell projects in the state.

The nine clean energy projects receiving design and construction grants include wind turbines for Aquacultural Research Corp. of Dennis, Berkshire East Ski Resort, the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) in Kingston, and Upper Cape Regional High School in Bourne; additional hydro capacity at L.P. Athol Corp. in Athol and Southworth Co. in Turners Falls; fuel cells for Shaw’s/Star Market in Chestnut Hill and Whole Foods in Dedham; and a combined heat and power system fueled by biogas from anaerobic digestion for the City of Pittsfield’s wastewater treatment plant. Awards for feasibility studies are expected to be announced in the next several weeks.

The nine projects will result in nearly 5 megawatts of clean energy generating capacity, according to the trust.

Funds for the trust come from renewable energy charges on electric bills, which generate roughly $25 million a year to support renewable energy installations and companies.
