Vermont commits to 100% renewable electricity
Green Mountain Power must reach 100% renewable electricity target by 2030, smaller municipal utilities have until 2035
Vermont has set the fastest timeline of any state to reach 100% renewable electricity. Under the law, the state’s largest utility, Green Mountain Power, must to reach that target by 2030, while giving smaller municipal utilities until 2035.
“Vermont can power itself many times over by harvesting the rays of the sun, the strength of the wind, and the heat of the earth,” said Johanna Neumann, Senior Director of the Campaign for 100% Renewable Energy at Environment America. “Codifying this goal will help propel clean energy adoption in the Green Mountain State to the next level.”
Vermont utilities were previously required to source 75 percent renewable electricity by 2032.
Vermont joins 12 other states in codifying commitments to 100% clean or renewable electricity.
