Are you interested in weighing in on where Vermont’s electricity comes from? The Public Service Department is currently reviewing the policies and programs related to renewable electricity to determine what changes are necessary to achieve state energy and climate goals. They’ve teamed up with Vermont’s Regional Planning Commissions to ensure your voice is heard as these critical energy policies are updated. 

Together, we want to hear from Vermonters about:

1. What are your priorities when thinking about where Vermont’s communities get their electricity?
2. How can our policies and programs better support those goals?

Throughout September there will be a series of events throughout the state with opportunities to engage in conversations around these topics. Your input will directly inform recommendations the Department will be making to Vermont’s policymakers in advance of the next legislative sessions. 

Interested in getting involved? Here are the events happening in BCRC’s region:
