An act relating to the Public Utility Commission and the cost of grid upgrades

This bill directs Vermont's Public Utility Commission to create rules for how electric grid upgrade costs are shared among customers. The commission must establish a process by July 1, 2024, to spread these costs fairly across all customers within each utility service area. A second deadline requires the commission to develop statewide cost-sharing rules by July 1, 2029, ensuring upgrades are distributed equitably across the entire state. The legislation affects electric utility customers and the Public Utility Commission, aiming to make grid improvements more transparent and balanced.
