About me
Rebecca Tepper has served as the Secretary of the Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs since her appointment by Governor Maura Healey in 2023. Secretary Tepper oversees the agencies charged with facilitating the clean energy transition, improving resilience to climate change, safeguarding Massachusetts’ natural resources, and providing access to the outdoors. In this role, she successfully brokered a compromise to speed up clean energy siting and permitting practices, established new programs to protect communities from inland and coastal flooding, boosted investment in Massachusetts’ climatetech and offshore wind industries, and significantly strengthened regional ties to advance New England’s energy independence. Throughout these efforts, she’s led with an environmental justice lens and a focus on lowering costs for Massachusetts residents and businesses.
