The Vermont Clean Heat Standard is a policy initiative aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions from heating fuels used in the state.
In 2023, the Vermont Legislature enacted S.5, the “Affordable Heat Act.” By 2025, the Vermont Public Utility Commission must produce a report estimating the economic impact of the program on customers. At that time, the legislature must pass a second law to enact the full Clean Heat Standard.
