Vermont H0354 proposes a thermal efficiency benefits charge to fund energy efficiency services for unregulated fuels.

Vermont H0354 amends state law to direct the Public Utility Commission to establish a thermal efficiency benefits charge. This charge will fund thermal energy and process fuel efficiency services for unregulated fuels, such as biomass and district heat systems. The charge will be shown separately on customer bills and deposited into the Electric Efficiency Fund. The bill also defines terms like "biomass," "district heat," and "regulated fuels." The act will take effect on July 1, 2025.
