Planning for Vermont's Electric Transmission Future-Join the Conversation

Don't miss an important opportunity to provide comment on the Vermont Electric Power Company (VELCO) Long Range Transmission Plan - Public Review Draft. Check it out here: www.velco.com/publicoutreach. The plan, which looks out 20 years and must be updated every three, identifies transmission upgrades that may be needed to maintain reliability and where generation and demand reduction could potentially address those reliability needs. The new 20-year planning horizon offers additional opportunities for public input and is intended to provide ample time for “full, fair and timely consideration” of alternatives to building transmission. The draft plan will be on-line and available at www.velco.com/publicoutreach.
