The Vermont Renewable Energy Standard requires electric utilities to have a certain percentage of renewables in their electricity generation portfolio. This percentage increases over time to 100% renewable by 2035, with 20% of the renewable energy coming from small, in-state, new renewable generators and 10% from new renewables.
VPPSA buys and sells renewable energy credits (RECs) on behalf of our members to meet renewability requirements. The below charts represent all member utilities renewable portfolios combined.
Although each utility's portfolio may vary slightly from the ones you see below, all VPPSA member utilities comply with the Renewable Energy Standard. Some, like Swanton Village, have already achieved 100% renewable status.
Wondering why we're showing 2023 portfolios even though it's 2025? Our renewable portfolios go through rigorous review by the Vermont Public Utility Commission. The most recently reviewed and approved portfolios are from 2023. VPPSA and our member utilities are committed to meeting renewability requirements each year.
