Vermont Public Benefit Funds for Energy Efficiency

State legislation, S. 137, effective June 1, 1999, authorized the Public Service Board to create Efficiency Vermont and to fund it through a non-bypassable volumetric systems benefits charge on distribution utilities' bills.

Efficiency Vermont’s services replace the individual demand-side management programs that Vermont's 22 utilities had conducted for about a decade.

Fifteen percent of Efficiency Vermont's total spending must be for Low Income Single Family, Low Income Multifamily Retrofit and Low Income Multifamily New Construction services and initiatives.
