2025 EEC Rates
Cost-effective energy efficiency
Efficiency Vermont is committed to advancing clean energy solutions that reduce energy use and help you save money. The Energy Efficiency Charge (EEC) that appears on your electric bill each month helps us do that—reducing the cost of efficient technologies, helping businesses reduce operating expenses, and much more. In 2025, the EEC rate—set by the Vermont Public Utility Commission—will decrease for all customers. The EEC will decrease 0.8% for residential customers, 2.4% for commercial customers, and 0.2% for industrial customers. For the average household, this will result in a $0.05 decrease in their monthly electric bill.
The new EEC rates will help keep electric bills affordable while allowing Efficiency Vermont to continue delivering programs and services that help all Vermonters save money and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Every $1 Vermont invests in energy efficiency yields $2.38 in savings. Take advantage of our energy services by visiting www.efficiencyvermont.com.
Since 2000, investments Vermonters have made in energy efficiency will save more than $3.3 billion over the lifetime of those investments—and prevent more than 14.1 million metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions. That’s like taking 3.3 million cars off the road for an entire year.
