Workshop

On November 27th, the Department published a draft summary of the process it has taken to review Vermont’s renewable and clean electricity policies and programs. This effort responded to recommendations from the 2022 Comprehensive Energy Plan and 2021 Climate Action Plan to review those policies in a transparent and open manner.

The report begins to synthesize learnings from across the public engagement efforts and supporting technical analyses conducted between January and November 2023. It distills five initial takeaways related to the future of electricity in Vermont and offers several reflections on the process taken to engage Vermonters in this effort.

• Review the draft report
• Review the executive summary

We want to hear from you! The Department is releasing this draft report for public review and comment in advance of a final report that will be issued on this process in January 2024. There are multiple ways to weigh in including this workshop which will offer space to review the initial takeaways presented in this report, answer questions on this process, and brainstorm where we go from here. We hope you’ll join us:
