The Department of Public Service produces reports on the Renewable Energy Standard (RES) as part of its Annual Energy Report (prior to 2024, the RES was reported on annually as well as in biennial program performance reports on all renewable energy programs). The annual reporting on the RES now has four components: providing (1) an assessment of the historical costs and benefits of the RES; (2) projected impacts of the RES on electric utility rates, energy and fossil fuel consumption, and greenhouse gas emissions; (3) an assessment of RES compliance to date; and a summary of activities of distributed renewable generation programs supporting the RES. See Vermont Statute 30 V.S.A § 202b for information about the Department's Annual Energy Report RES reporting requirements (pending updates consistent with Act 179 of 2024 as of 10/15/24), and Vermont Statute 30 V.S.A § 8005b for historical information about the Department's responsibility for reports regarding Renewable Energy Programs in Vermont.
