Retail Unbundling - Vermont

Status: The state has no unbundled services for residential customers but is considering action.

Overview: The Public Service Board is considering the issue but has not yet opened a formal case. Unbundled service for large-volume customers using interruptible transportation became effective on December 1, 1998. Most of the larger customers in Vermont use interruptible service.
