H 125 Vermont House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An act relating to reporting on the energy transition

H 125 requires Vermont's Secretary of Natural Resources to publish a detailed report by December 15, 2025, tracking how the state's energy shift affects residents and businesses. The report must compile five years of data on electric rates, solar installations by county, heating fuel sales, weatherization services (by income), renewable energy jobs, fuel sales, EV charging infrastructure, and regional energy consumption patterns. It also mandates analysis of equity impacts and recommendations for future reporting to better understand regional benefits and burdens from Vermont's energy transition. This procedural bill focuses on data collection, not policy changes, to inform future energy planning.
