About electricity rates in Vermont
Vermont has no retail choice; electricity is delivered by regulated utilities, with Green Mountain Power serving most customers alongside Burlington's municipal utility, the Vermont Electric Cooperative and a dozen or so small municipal systems. The Vermont Public Utility Commission sets rates, and a statewide efficiency utility, Efficiency Vermont, is funded through a charge on bills.
With no large power plants in the state, Vermont imports much of its electricity, including hydropower from Quebec, and relies on in-state hydro, wood-fired, wind and solar generation under a renewable energy standard. Winters are long and cold, with most homes heating with oil, propane or wood, though heat pumps are widely promoted. Rooftop and community solar are common, supported by net metering.
