Vermont Renewable Energy Standards

Vermont Renewable Energy Standards are regulations designed to promote the use of clean, renewable energy sources, like wind, solar, and hydroelectric power. The standards require utilities to obtain a certain percentage of their energy from these sources, helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and combat climate change. They also encourage investment in local energy projects, create jobs in the renewable sector, and aim to make Vermont a leader in sustainable energy. Overall, these standards support a transition to a cleaner, more sustainable energy future for the state.
